I made an appointment to get the rear suspension changed on my 22 CVO trike. I’m considering having the front done too. For those of you who got the forks done after you already had the rear done, was it worth it? Thanks.

Thanks for your reply. Yes, I am going to Pro Action. I am actually north of Pittsburgh about 20 minutes from their shop. I spoke to both George and Julie. Very nice people. I am going with the 13s as I don't want to change the height of the rear end. Did you put yours on the rear first and then the front later or both at the same time?
Thanks again.

Anything is better than stock up front. I just went to a heavier fluid and added 1/2 oz more. I’m planning on trading it so I didn’t want to overspend. I do have the 14” pro Action on the rear and in conjunction with the new softer Michelin Defenders it’s Mo betta. When I get a newer trike I will do front cartridge of some sort. I have Progressive cartridge in my 07 FLHTC and they do well.

Thanks, Barry. That's the ride I'm looking for. Regarding the height, I would go with the 14 inch if the tires on my trike were standard, but CVOs are low profile. That may or may not make a difference in a noticeable height change. BTW, not far from you. Hopewell, just over the Center Twp line.

I have a full suspension upgrade from DK Customs. I have the 14" NexGen shocks with lift in the rear and the FST cartridge in the front. It was night and day from stock. I had the rears done first as the FST was on backorder and it felt "loose" to use a racing term. When the FST came in and were installed, it tightened everything up and it handles like it's on rail now. My experience, when I just did the rear, it brought to light how bad the front really was.
