2015 tri glide you helped a lot

[uppercaseJC]

I have been getting advice from forum members for the last week or two. I found steering really hard! I had the front tire skip a little in a sharp turn.
With your help here is what I discovered:
. Steering was hard because I was only pulling with almost no push on the other arm
. turning was also hard and I now realize I was likely going to fast on sharp turns.
. Suspension pressure was too low I changed it from 20 pounds to 30 pounds and the ride improved.
. I adjusted rear tire air pressure from 26 to 24 with softened the ride a little

I am not sure if the pressure changes did anything to change handling or if it was just my confidence increasing but my new trike is easier to ride. I would be interested in you comment on the improved ride. Thanks for your help. I continue to learn.

I am still not real comfortable on expressways at 70 mph as the smallest movement of the bars make my big "Jiggles" wiggle a little. I thing I just need to get used to it.

Get a shock lift kit. Handling will improve and steering will be easier.

Push with your outside arm and lock your elbow. Pull with the inboard arm.

Before going to the gym for other reasons, I picked up a set of hand weights and I'd just do exercises while watching TV every night.
The only time I found steering a little hard was on making tight turns at any speed - normal turning I never found to be difficult at all.
So you are right about sharp turns.

I also found the lift kit to ease turning a little bit. ThumbUp

I was skeptical that 1.5" would make any difference whatsoever, but I'll be damned, once I installed it the steering was noticeably different (for the better), as well as a softer ride when I dropped the shock pressure down from 50 (I'm a fatass) to 30lbs. Probably the best mod I've done thus far

OK OK OK I ordered the comfort lift and it arrived today. I will be installing it on Tuesday next week. Will let you know how it works out. Ordered a bunch of chrome caps as well just because I like shiney.
