I'm in UK.
Currently my Vmax has a stock front end & is an absolute pig to steer. I've seen plenty of comments about 5.5 - 6 deg rake kits for other trikes. Is that best for the Vmax. If not could someone tell me the ideal trail length & I can work out the rake angle from there.
2nd Q. what effect does lead have on a trike? I've seen plenty of trikes with huge amounts of rake (so must have lead right).
3rd Q. Assuming I get round to increasing the rake does anyone have any input for front tube spring rating/set up?
