Unlevel rear suspension

[WingBoy]

I am new to the forum and new to the trike world. I just purchased a 07 Goldwing with CSC kit. Cobra I believe?? The left side wheel well is 1 inch lower than the right side. How do I adjust this to level this out? Any help would be appreciated.

Welcome to TT!

It is probably more to do with the installation of the trike body than the suspension. Try to get an accurate measurement from an original bike part, like center of bolts for passenger handles, to the ground. Your bike is likely completely upright while the trike body is installed a little off. If you have IRS, like I do, there is no adjustment for suspension to compensate for this. And, you wouldn't want to do so anyway because both sides are controlled by a single horizontal shock. I believe the body can be shimmed a little to make it look level. In any case a little tweak in the body installation doesn't affect handling. Hope this helps..... Jim

Thanks Jim. Shimming the body makes more sense than trying to adjust the suspension. I will give it a try.

I know this may sound stupid. Check tire pressure and make sure they are equal in the back. More than once the evenness had to do with tire pressure.

Darryl, welcome to Trike Talk! Agree it is probably the body that needs adjusted. I redid a few of mine after I got it home.
