Ride Comfort

[Harley]

I recently took a test ride at Southwest Trikes on their new independent suspension kit from Motor Trike. I tried to hit as many bumps in the road as possible and was really impressed with the way it road.

I believe the GL-1800 with a Roadsmith trike kit to be the best combination (this is my opinion), as I know many people who are very pleased with the Roadsmith on both Wings and Ultras. I have taken a GL-1800 with Roadsmith kit for a test ride and I like it, I thought the ride was a little more comfortable.
Thank you,
Trike Lady

At 75 I am looking for a smooth ride and good handling. Do my trike riding friends out there have comments about the most confortable trikes and ones that handle well.:confused
I am riding an 01/1800 GW with a tow pack installed.

Thanks for the help:yes:Jud Barber, SC

Just thought I would add my 2cents worth. Check out my K1200LT with Hannigan conversion. You know about opinions by now for sure. I personally prefer the Independent Suspension coupled with the EasySteer frontend work.
Makes for a good handler, and comfort is superb. Check out the looks in my profile album. Just remember that ALL trikes/bikes are good these days. Not much junk being produced....

I'm really getting sick of people cutting down the solid axels!

IMHO, I love our Champion Solid Axel and think it's the best Trike kit built.
I wouldn't trade it for any other brand.

I have friends with IRS and have nothing but problems.
One of them has stuck $2,000 trying to get his CSC suspension right.
Another one traded his MT for a CSC and wished he had his old one back. It shakes so bad after 50mph that he cann't see anything in the rear view mirrors.
My dealer had Champion's with their new IRS with suspension problems also.
The Hann and RS look like tanks they are so big and long.

My Champion has the best ride, one of the biggest trunks, doesn't lean to the outside of curves, has the least maintenance and best looking of all the Trikes out there.

There I vented, flame on!!!!!!!!!!!!

He's just unhappy because its still snowing in wisconsin and not riding weather.


Just got relegated to this as my trike has radio problems. Bought a Honda CB and headlight modulator now getting CB error. Dealership lent me this.
At least its not a Harley. :no:
