update on my leading link swap build.

[butchvoss]

I finished my forks and all fabrication mods. I have paint on forks and new neck primed and ready for final paint on trike. I had to build a new dash board and some other unexpected mods but should be installing LL on bike in a couple of weeks . Pictures to come..

ran the trike yesterday for first time on new leading link for shake down .. Night and day difference. No more pulling right , handles the bumps sooo much better. I still get a kind of low speed shake over bumps but very manageable., on a nice road its like a dream.

My only disappointment is the front brakes. Some where i missed something on master cylinder and caliper match up. I have a very spongy brake. If disconnect one caliper hard brake but no stopping power. I believe my master cylinder is to small or my dual piston calipers to much... I used a Harley master for dual calibers to..

My front Harley air ride shocks are set at 20 lbs for best ride

what calipers did u use???
and did you have to mount them upside down????
every LL ive built i use stck calipers and they end up up side down and bleading takes foooor eeevvvverrrrr
sometimes i take em off and blead em right side up..... usually the worst part of a LL
