HD Champion trike rear air shocks

[knucklebuster]

Hi any harley champion guys running air shocks? Are they stock shocks ? They looking smaller then what was on my roadking. Could you tell me what psi your running and weight you have calculated. With my self and my wife we will be at 350lb. plus the weight of the trike body. I failed in a search for these questions. I do know my kit was built or put together in 2010.



Day 6 owernship vin check registered only 2 rides been cold cumby's for gas and 6 miles with a high speed of 60mph. (I live on aquidneck Island in RI)

I'm thinking I should just jot down all my question's and call champion, :Santa:

your right! Looks like there showa 54565-97C stock. I just can't seem to find the body weight of the trike, I'm figuring 17 psi for me and the wife, I figure about 100 lbs. for theweight of the fiberglass shell. maybe bumb it up to 21lbs and see. Im looking for just the weight on the shocks, not the entire trike. I know someone posted that it's not that heavy 2 person job lift off because of size and shape. and a little at a time do not want to blow the lines.

Been around motorcycles awhile, but this rear end is a learning experience (I'm hands on type of guy) mainly I want to know what parts I need if they fail. Next on to the brakes which I read are vw 70ish (2010 kit).

I like to thank Lady trike also that's how I found out what year I had, 1 of her post.

you dont have to worry much about blowing the lines to the shocks id be surprise if the are rated less than 250 psi
