Hello All,
I just joined this forum, actually stumbled across it by accident. Anyway, I own a beautiful 2013 HD Ultra Limited with a Roadsmith kit. I bought it a little over a year ago with 1250 original miles on it, it is all chromed out with optional chrome front wheels as well as chrome rear wheels, and also running boards. Its painted yellow and black, will post pictures of it on here soon. It has a little over 7,000 miles on it now.
Now to the issue at hand, It has always pulled a little to the right, Air pressures are set both the same in the rear, new tires all around as the old ones were like new but old. Steering head bearings are fine also. I took it to the trike shop here in Daytona, and the main technician there (Randy) immediately saw that the LH wheel/tire was further forward than the RH one by about 1/2 inch by looking at the relationship between fender and tire.. I left it there for him to adjust or align, he said it can be done pretty easy.
Just wondering if this is a common problem or just an isolated case of when it was triked out someone goofed. I also had a issue with the front wheel bearings wore out prematurely as the spacer in the front wheel was not the correct size. Not sure where the kit was installed, I am assuming at the local HD shop here in Daytona as it was sold new there. Can someone here tell me what all is involved in getting the back wheels aligned so it will track straight, my left shoulder/arm gets tired after a while, LOL. Thanks in advance, Kim
