Been a member for a few months, just getting around to posting a question.
Sorry this is a little long.
I'm almost 68 and have been riding for 52 years on 2 wheels and just bought my first Tri Glide at the end of this summer, a 2016 with 3,400 miles.
Two tone gray and black, came with a stage 1, V&H exhaust system including head pipe. Fuelpak 3 and hi-flow a/c. I love this bike!
90% of our riding is two up and we average about 6,000-8,000 miles a year, always taking one long trip in the summer of about 6-8 days.
I will be doing the DK Customs lift kit and shocks over the winter.
We managed to put about 1,000 miles on the Tri Glide before winter set in.
Being our first trike, my wife is having some issues adapting to the ride.
I have the stock seat and when cornering, she feels like she's sliding left and right on the seat.
On two wheels there was no sliding as you know, you lean with the bike and stay stationary in the seat.
Her feeling is she's sitting "on" the seat, not "in" the seat, which is causing her to slide around.
For comfort with two wheels in the past, I've had Mean City Cycles adapt stock seats, I've also owned Ultimate seats and other after markets.
Does anyone have suggestions on a seat that she could sit "in to"?
One that might wrap up around her butt a little so she's not sliding back and forth, sitting into it, not on it.
She's 5' 4" and about 125 lbs.
We both love to ride and I really want this trike to work out for "both" of us.
The seat issue is preventing my wife from buying in to the trike 100%
Any seat suggestions would be appreciated!
