    Ron…Welcome to Trike Talk..����.With 3 wheels on the ground the ride will never be as smooth as a 2 wheel bike….With 3 wheels one will always hit a pothole whereas with 2 wheels you can avoid them..

    Thank you, Sorry for the delay on replying to this massage. I sent you a message back in January and never heard back from you, so I figured someone else already purchased them. I did more research on mine after going to a car wash on a nice day and really cleaning the rear end and apparently the previous owner of the bike has soaked the shocks with some kind of oil to free up the adjusters. After the shocks were clean, I have not seen any oil leaking out of them in over 300 miles.

    But I will keep you in mind in case I decide to have a backup pair.

    Hi Jim, Yes I do still have them and have been going to put them on ebay but haven't as of yet. I don't check this often but let me know if you would like them I'm sure we could work something out.

    Thanks Rod
