Lift Kit for TriGlide

Did my second comfort lift install last week ... first was on the other tri ... I forgot what a huge difference this little change makes ... this and the floorboard relocates were the first things I ordered ... 3 days before I picked the Trike Up ... LOL.

I installed my comfort lift combo about two weeks ago. I did not change the setup from what DK Customs had pre-set for me. The weather has been tricky, but I've been out for a few rides now. I rode around town, through the pot holes left by the snow plows. I rode over a few railroad crossings that are always a bitch. Then I rode out to Craters of the Moon (160 miles round trip). It was still a bit rough over the frost heaves and through the pot holes, but out on the open road it was great.

Today I pulled the wheels and backed off the pre-load by one turn and pushed the bumpers back up. Out for another ride and I'm still not using the full travel. Bumpers don't seem to have moved any more than previous rides. Before I make anymore adjustment to the pre-load I'll pack up my wife and give it another test ride.

On my next ride I backed out the freebleed by one click and that made a big difference. Much smoother now. No more adjustments until I go out fully loaded.

Also, when installing the shocks I could not fit the bottom shock bolt into the bracket when using the "full lift" holes. I had to use the "secondary lift" holes and the shock went on easily. A 13" shock would have gone in using the full lift. I still got almost an inch of lift.

Sounds like you have a good handle on getting it fine tuned. Agree, best to wait til a 2-up ride to see if you want to change it anymore.

If you feel a change is needed, when 2-up, do the rebound adjustment first, just 1 click.
