I converted my 2012 Gold Wing to a Roadsmith trike and had the shock preload set to the firmest setting. The trike handles great, very flat in corners, but now I am having a lot of low back pain. I believe the pain is either caused by, or aggravated by, the way the trike rocks back and forth. So, I wonder if 1) anyone else has had this problem, and 2) do y’all think backing off the shock preload springs would improve the ride?
I don’t have the shock preload wrench, or even know how many “clicks” I have available.
Do I need a jack to adjust the shocks?
If I understand correctly, the preload on the Wing is active, but it really only raises and lowers the body. It does not affect the ride quality.
