Recently got a Harley trike with Motor Trike conversion. Has a low speed "wobble" is best I can describe it. Would a steering damper solve this or is there a better why to solve it. Once your past about 15mph it is gone. Thanks for any advice

Ralph, Welcome to Trike Talk Forum.
Check your air pressure in the tires, run 20-22 psi in the rear and 38-40 psi in the front tire.
The wobble is caused by the rear suspension usually, so you might want to check all of the heim joints to be sure that none are loose.
Dont buy the Dayton brand its for ****, i wasted money on that one, no resistance hardly whatsoever, bought one at swap meet for $20 best yet, and yet, i sometimes think i should do what an old outlaw i know does, takes a vw steering dampener and makes brackets an uses that on his rides, says it works and its cheap. Unknown factor to me. Best to ya Mr Mann.:clapping:
