Welcome BD and greetings from the correct (right) coast on Long Island.
As far as wobble, you might need a rake kit on front end. If front is original from bike, that could cause your problems. There are also shocks that go from frame to front end to help stabilize. You should NOT be wobbling up to 50 mph.

welcome aboard. also try tightening the steering head nut. It has to be tighter then when it was a 2 wheeler. That may help.

Also (quick and easy), try 2 or 3 ounces of balancing beads (Dyna or Counter Act) in the front tire. Even if it's not the problem, no "harm" done and you'll have the "best balanced tire in town". It's easy to do, and the beads can be put in the tire via the valve stem w/o removing the wheel. Just follow the directions.

Good luck finding "the cure".

Welcome and congrats on the longest thread title in TrikeTalk.com history. ThumbUp

Honorable mention, but only 80 or so characters?

Seems to me that texting on your phone is 160 chars. and even the anemic and gutless Twitter noise box allows 140 chars.

Guess we just haven't tested the limits yet? What do you think? Do we need "run-on" titles? (Not really)
