some changes going from 2 wheel to 3 wheels.

[rhino 2]

I have a 2012 Harley tri glide ultra and I have had my trike at 85 mph once on a good road and it was smooth sailing. On rough roads like many Oklahoma roads, I find that you best hold on to the bars tight. I assume that's pretty normal for any trike. Is that correct??? Yes , I am a recent transplant from a 2wheeler to a 3 wheeler.View attachment 44484

Correct, But not too tight. i.e.; [The death grip...] When you have 3 wheels its almost impossible to miss a pot hole or bumps...Even a sunken man hole cover is hard to miss! With a two wheeler you can skirt around it, With a four wheeler you can straddle it, But with three wheels you might not have enough room in your lane to avoid it...

:Agree:

The "death grip" tends to over amplify subtle steering inputs.

A nice relaxed grip works best to reduce over steering inputs.ThumbUp

cruising

my freewheeler will cruise all day at 80 mph with no effort at all. I can ride with one hand at that speed if I want but usually I just put it in cruise and rest my hands loosely on the grip There is no vibration, no shaking or anything else. It is completely stable at that speed
