steering stabilizer sportster trike

[captdanwh]

bought my wife a 2007 sportster 1200 with a CSC trike kit with the front end raked 4 1/2 degrees. the front end seems to shake a little to much when hitting bumps compared to my tri glide. would a stabilizer be a fix or is that the way all sportster trikes ride? i realize it has a much smaller front tire than my bike so i have nothing to compare it with. i am open for all of your opinions.

I can't say for sure but in the last year the Dealer here where I live has had 2 sportster trike conversions they took in on trade. 1 an 883 and the other a 1200. Both had steering stabilizers on them.

A stabilizer would tame some of the head shake, maybe someone will jump in here with a source for one.

There's a Paughco.com Sportster trike product line Welcome To The Paughco, Inc. Web Site - New Products For 2013, Page 2, Item 17-15x (depending on year of the bike.)

Also look up Ozarkryder - he's got some experience along that line.

Trike I bought Sporty 12 has the stabilizer. Former owner says it made a big difference for him in getting rid of the "shake".
