89 Venture Royale made trike...rides real rough?

[bootsnhats]

I have this new toy and it's the first I've owned it was sitting for a few years had to replace starter and possible clutch but it seems to be getting all the rough running issues smoothing out but this thing feels as I'm riding a tank truck any suggestions? I've aired up the bike but don't seem to help

Hello & welcome to Trike Talk.
I see you have an outrigger set up and the settings all have to work in harmony from the preload of the Voyager kit to the tire pressure on the motorcycle.
From the MTC Voyager website, this will help you set up the kit for a good ride: https://mtcvoyager.com/troubleshooting/

Welcome I personally have not had or worked on a Voyager. But heed Trike Lady's advise, I hear it's all in the setup. I understand that is tricky.

I had one on a GL1500 Goldwing, change the rear tire and reset the pre-load, put new air shocks on and then reset it again. When they are set up right you hardly know its there.
