Finally Got A, it's amazing how much time a puppy takes ... LOL
I have doen a few rides since having her, but, not many. My bottom line thought on the shocks was that they are wonderful. I did think I would like to try just a tad more preload. My thinking on this was that the bumpers would always be on the bottom after a short ride. So today, I put the front end in the python, jacked up the rear, removed the wheels and added a full turn to the preload. Thought that might be too much, but, I would rather go a tad too much than too little. In reality, I think it was perfect. Did a 30 mile ride with the shocks at 3 full turns of preload and clickers both on 3.
WOW ... they are really nice now. No excessive leaning, no jarring bumps, just controlled action on the rear end. I wouldn't call it plush, but, compared to the OEM air shocks, it is plush. I might try a test ride with the clickers at 2 or one at 2 the other at 3, but, I'm pretty sure the preload is done. After my 30 mile ride, I got on the ground and the bumper was about a 1/16" off the bottom. I'm saying that because I could push it down just a tad before it hit bottom. I don't have anyway to actually measure that, but, I think my eye is pretty close.
Surprisingly, I remembered to get a shock length measurement ... LOL ... guess it had been long enough to get past my short term memory. The measurement from the bottom of the top collar to the top of the bottom collar was 7 5/8".
I think all that is left is to re torque the rear wheels at like 50 miles and again at 100 miles. Maybe play with the clicker some, but, I like where it's at now ... so maybe not.
One of the best threads I've read on here. If I keep on, my trike will end up more DK than HD. LOL
2016 Tri Glide, More DK than HD. Just shut up and ride.
I have been on the search for a smoother ride since I got the 2020TG. I'm 74 so a smooth ride is important to me because I would like to do some longer rides. I've read all of the posts about the PA 14" shocks and peoples impression of how they improve the ride. My position is that the shocks may help but to really improve the ride you need to get rid of the solid axle. I would hate to invest the money in shocks and still not be happy with the ride. To me, independent rear suspension is the best cure for a rough ride. I know I'll get a lot of push back on my opinion and I might be wrong, but IRS has to be better than a solid rear axle. I'm looking seriously at the IMC unit, it is very beefy and well built. The best thing is that their shop is only 15 miles from my house so service after the sale should not be problem. I've been to their shop and spent time with the owner who took me back to their assembly plant and gave me the nickel tour. I know IRS is an expensive way to go but this will most likely be my last ride so it might as well be a comfortable one. They make a unit that is a direct replacement for the TG rear suspension. It's basically a plug and play type of unit that uses the stock wiring harness to access the reverse button on your handlebars, the stock body bolt right back on without having to drill any holes, there are no frame modifications needed and the stock wheel fit or you can change to a 5 lug pattern which gives you options for wheels.
All in all it's a well built unit with lots of options. Sorry if I sound like a commercial for IMC but I just wanted to relate what I've found so far in my search for the elusive smooth trike ride.
