Does a raked tree counteract the rear of the bike coming up cause of the trike kit? If I'm looking at the right thing at http://towpacusa.com/products/instatrike/ they say it maintains the ride height and no modifications are necessary. Is that just marketing talk? If I just dropped $3k on a kit I'd be pissed if I had to then change the tree just to make it stable.   Logged     Patriot Guard Riders Patriot Guard of Montana   The administrator has disabled public write access. #381218 CoyoteManNo1 (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1393 Re:Front end wobble with added trike kit 12 Months ago   From Antigo, Wisconsin.

Junior Boarder Posts: 137 Re:Front end wobble with added trike kit 12 Months ago   My 6* raked trees were installed when the conversion was done. It wobbled bad at that same speed. I had the mechanic check the front tire and lift the front off the ground to check steering bearings. Tire was cupped real bad and aftermarket raked trees were just a tiny bit loose causing the whole front end to be loose. New tire and tighten trees wobble is gone. good luck Rick   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #381242 del23t (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 3 Re:Front end wobble with added trike kit 12 Months ago   OK folks Thanks a bunch, I'll first have to call towpac on Tuesday then start looking for something to repair the problem, you folks are great, I'll let you know what I find out.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #381325 Boatmark (User) Roadie fan, just blowin' down the road...

My father had a 96 sportster with a voyager kit that wobbled around 50-55 mph. After ALOT of work on the front end,I checked the balance on the kit wheels. Once they were rebalanced the wobble was gone.Don't know if towpac wheels are large enough to throw things off, but it might be something to look at.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access.
