Thanks for the tip on the seat. Stock one sucks for long rides. I have a VT1100 with a Musang seat. Makes a big difference.

The rear tires on your trike are automotive tires designed to carry the weight of a 4k- 5k lb automobile at 32 lbs. Your trike with you, wife and luggage is less than 1500 lbs. Do a visual comparison of the side walls at 22 lbs in your trike and your automobile at 32lbs and you will see more sidewall compression on the automobile. Do you put more air in your automobile when your wife rides with you in it? Probably not..... but if you feel safer at 25 lbs in rear trike tires, ride and enjoy. Not trying to dictate, just had years of trike riding and get the best ride at 22 lbs in rear tires and after approximately 300k miles on trike have never had a tire failure. :clapping: Good luck and happy trails. Keep us posted and we love pics of your rides. :wave4:
I adjusted the rear tires to 21 lbs, the air bags to 16 lbs, and the front to 35. Ride improved to the point that I am satisfied. My son, dropped my helmet while testing out the trike and damaged it, besides it was 17 years old. I ordered two new helmets from Revzilla. Should increase comfort and safety plus they match the trike.
Wednesday we are going up to the town of Crouch Idaho for lunch. All work and no play ….
The Banks-Lowman road is a beautiful ride. Enjoy..... Jim
The Banks/Lowman road is a gateway to some beautiful country. I would love to do a loop over to Stanley, Ketchum, Sun Valley, Craters of the moon. Redfish Lake would be a beautiful place to spend the night.
