I have made some major changes on my trike Over the last few weeks. Completely rebuilt the front suspension. Talked to people ate Roadsmith and Progressive. after changes trike been sitting for couple weeks because of wether today I got it out.
I got to go out and test ride my trike today. Yes there is a big difference. The major change I made was the front suspension of the bike. As a bike the bike was to soft. I upgraded the front with Progressive mono tubes. Made major change to the bike. I told trike builder it had progressives in it. They said it would be fine. After bike was converted the trike to me it did not handle well. Also did not sit just right. I was told that the fork extentions that are normally installed can not be installed on Progressive front struts. I started doing research and looked at several trike forums. After talking with Roadsmith and Progressive I determend that the trike should have not been built with the Mono tubes. Also I was still running a Bridgestone G709 front tire. I am not sure how much the tire makes but I changed it out being I had the front all apart. Now have a BT46 on front. Before my changes I was frustrated with what I had done to the bike. It felt like I was going to get thrown over the handlebars when I went into a corner. Now with the front end changes it seems much better. I did not get a bunch of miles in, but enough to notice the difference. I am not an Interstate Highway rider. I dont go out and cruise for hundreds of miles. I like back roads and twistees. Maybe that is why some people get by with modified front end suspension. All my Progressive stuff is boxed up and a friend is getting it for his bike. I am now back to Honda forks. I have the 2' fork tube extensions. Only thing not stock on forks is a set of Progressive springs that were recomended by Roadsmith and Progressive. Maybe this will help someone else, maybe not. I hope to get several more miles and adjust myself to the trike. Our forcast is looking better but I know we can still see more snow.
