    How much more comfy would my trike be if i put only 22 lbs in rear tires???

    Good for you to actually give it a try in the real world—way better than talking about it. I run 22 rear and 36 front on my RS Wing. Shocks are full soft, larger diameter anti-roll bar comes on as early as possible. EZSteer with firmer front springs up front. Very plush. Very sporty.

    Alternatives to Expensive Footpegs

    I like the look of Mick-O-Pegs BUT quality workmanship is expensive. Since I am riding a TRIKE not a motorcycle, is there a more affordable option? Honestly, for a TRIKE, something like this should be around $100-$120.

    Low Back Pain FROM My Trike?

    I converted my 2012 Gold Wing to a Roadsmith trike and had the shock preload set to the firmest setting. The trike handles great, very flat in corners, but now I am having a lot of low back pain. I believe the pain is either caused by, or aggravated by, the way the trike rocks back and forth...

    Dear experienced riders: I wonder if any of you have switched over to using the rear brake almost exclusively. I have a rare muscle disorder and my hands tire quickly. For example, my wife and I rode to Mount Mitchel yesterday. Lots of switchbacks and elevation changes. My throttle/brake hand...

    Wing Ride Preset

    I have a Roadsmith kit on my 2012 Wing. I do not have the Accuride option, but I do still have the adjustable rear preset. The dealer set it at 15. I tried it at 20, and my wife likes the way it absorbs bumps better. It looks like the preset goes up to 25. What are you running?

    Tough Trike Conversion

    This is my first weekend with the new trike. When she went in, my bike was really dirty from parking in gravel lots at home and at work. Several parts were broken from a low speed tip over. And my first-year-back-in-Japan 2012 Wing had many pieces that were never clear coated from the factory do...
