Hello Everyone
I have been thinking of installing a rear lift kit on may 2014 tri glide that I just purchased.. I was told to run about 35-40 lb of air... I have noticed that it bottoms out every once in a while when my wife and I are both on it.. with so many to choose from and the cost ( for what you get ) does any one have a drawing or specs on any of these.. I work in a fab shop and hate to spend $200.00 on $5.00 worth the steel.. now I know what your gona say I'm a cheep OSB But admit it you'd do the same thing... any help?
sorry if I got this on here in a different spot.. new to all of this

 

The cost is to pay the people for all of their experiments to get it right.
Sorry to be blunt, but go ahead and experiment away, and see how much it costs. Maybe $200 will sound like a bargain when you finish. Who knows you may come up with a better way, then you could sell it for $300.
Please don't take this personally. This is the right way, no one should provide you with another persons design without their direct OK.

 

Just to add to what...Fusionfool already said......
Your not paying 2 hundred dollars for a 5 dollar piece of steel, Your paying for the knowledge and time$$ that it took to make that five dollar piece of steel worth 2 hundred dollars, To hundreds of Trike owners who were glad that someone had the knowledge to market it... .....

 

Here ya go... a Convertible Comfort Lift™ Kit for under $100, and it has a Life Time Warranty. Saved you 50%.

And if you want to save even more, give a call or email, we have some on the "2nds" shelf that have marred powder coating that you can get for even less.

 

If you are capable to design and build your own lift kit, go for it.
As far as the amount of air pressure needed in the system, I only need 22 lbs of air for a two-up load of 400 lbs. That seems to be the best amount needed for us. It even feels comfortable when I ride solo.

 

I plan on buying from Kevin as soon as I get through the holidays and birthdays and property tax's and............ will do prior to spring.
Kevin puts a lot of hard work into his products AND they are AMERICAN made.

 

Geeze .......... Two threads on the same subject ..............

 

Kevin, what is the part # for the shock kit for a 16 trike? Going to order now instead of waiting.

 

Here you go- DK-TRI-CNVT-LFKT
