GL 1500 Roadmith trike

[jayhawkokie]

A friend of mine just bought a 1995 1500 goldwing with 2012 Roadsmith conversion, I’m trying to help him figure out a few things on the trike, he’s not real savvy or mecanically inclined and I’m not close where I can help him on the trike. He’s wondering how to adjust the ride, is it the same air ride as on a stock 1500 Goldwing? Thanks in advance

Hey! Good to hear from you again. Haven't seen you since I got some patches at BBBQ in Lafayette. Been a while.

As far at the best pressure, I will definitely recommend some. I suggest starting at 30 - 35# and experiment from there. What the number your buddy ends up on will depend on many factors - his weight, what gear is carried in the trunks, tire pressure, tire brand and design, the shocks installed and most of all personal preference. When we had our 1995 GL1500SE Motor Trike (Pre-airbag model.I thought the shocks were relatively stiff.) I ran 30-35# riding the Ozarks (I like it a bit stiff for the twisties) 35-38 if Gloria was along. For long highway jaunts I would drop the pressure for a cushier ride, with the trailer and passenger in the 30# range, a bit less if alone.
