Just got my '10 TG back from 35,000 mile service (yes, I am bragging). My mechanic commented that even though Steering Damper feels same as all other trikes he has ridden, he thinks it needs a stronger damper. Possibly an adjustable one. He recommended I post this to see if anyone has replaced it and what have they used.
On that note, he also thinks the shocks will only last to 45k. Never been a fan of Progressive. Any other alternatives out there that work well on the "off roading" I seem to always be on?
 
The last time I looked, TG are for touring, not off road!:D

Forgetting the rest of the country, riding through NYC qualifies as Off Road some days.
My mechanic was going across RR tracks. He noticed how much front end jumps around. That is what caused his comment. I barely even notice that anymore.

Know what your taking about, I drove into midtown 5 five days a week for 30 years. Two bugs and last a Gti, had more taxi yellow paint on them than original paint.:Trike1:
 
I have an 05 Ultra Classic and read somewhere that I can't use a steering damper as the lower farings will interfere. Anyone ever heard of this?
