Front Fork Modifications

[jireland]

I have blown a fork seal on my near new 2010 Goldwing/Lehman trike.
I was wondering if cornering on a trike puts additional twisting on the forks, causing pre-mature wear on the seals.

Also, I was wondering if anyone has experimented with fork braces on their trike, progressive springs, or different fork oil...

Check out this thread for a start, but you can do a simple search for "super brace" to find more information: http://www.triketalk.com/forum/honda-trikes/4000-super-brace-gold-wing-1800-trike-report-thread.html

I have progressive springs on my 2006 Wing. I have lost a fork seal after 7000 miles after being triked with a Hannigan. I added a superbrace on it seams to be a lot more solid than it did before. It goes in the turns a lot better and it don't have that ( its going to fold up feel ). If I had to do it over I would have added that brace as soon as I trike it. JMO
