These provide a very nice improvement with stock or aftermarket springs. (see chart below) They keep the tire in better contact with the ground, resulting in a smoother ride and better control in the curves. They also do a good job of reducing front end dive when braking hard with the front brake. They are self adjusting with their inertia activated valves.

That said, for '14 & up models, if you can swing it, I would go the extra and get the FST cartridges. The improvement to the front end on Trikes is shockingly good.

Last 2 weeks it's been nothing but scans, tests, office visits and more scans.
Dealer said they are really backed up now but will try to get around to evaluating the damage.soon. Front end is shot, tour pack is in pieces (landed upside down), some damage to rear fenders. Dealer said he's seen worse damage and the insurance company said to repair it. That would be the cheapest thing for me.
Looks like this riding season is shot.
Damn, sounds like you're lucky to be alive, Gary. Take care of yourself first and then worry about the trike. It can wait.

Got my Tri two weeks ago and yesterday I finally got all the bling and important stuff finished putting it on and today I am packing the trike and trailer so we can head out to Yellowstone on Monday. Life is getting good.

Default My '12 TriGlide was a gopher today.
LOL, so after a couple of weeks ownership I made my weekly grocery run(I am the cook since I am retired and my SO still works). Wow, much easier to shop than with my RoadGlide. Boring? Well it was a hoot as n living in a college town, got a lots of looks as I loaded the bike. Probably wondering wtf that old man was doing but looks and smiles are looks and smiles. Getting to really enjoy 3 wheeling.

We picked up our Tri-Glide two weeks ago. Last night I installed Ciro drink holders for rider and passenger. Too darn hot out here to be riding without packing cool beverages!
