    Cool

    Lydia, Welcome to Trike Talk from West Virginia, USA.

    22 psi may still be a little high for an 800 lb conversion, I would recommend 20psi in the rear tires.

    I would also examine the rear shock settings to make sure their is not too much preload.

    Check to see if the triple tree has been changed. A 5 degree triple tree would almost eliminate the wobble.

    Hi Lydia. Follow Jack & Jim's advice on the tire air pressure and you'll see a big difference in the way your trike handles. To get the best handling, you will need to add a rake kit.

    I've had 2 Frankenstein kits installed and the large nut that connects the triple tree to the frame needs to be tightened alot more than for 2 wheels. This should take care of the wobble. I believe the instructions Frankenstein provides even states this. Good luck and enjoy.
