Sorry in advance if this has been asked and answered...I tried a search, but nothing I was looking for came up. I have a 2014 Tri Glide with factory suspension. It has the factory tires...I bought it two years ago with only 1000 miles...it was sitting for a long time until the owner passed and his friend sold it. Took the wife out the other day and a few rough patches in the road really jolted her to the point her back was hurting later. I want to get her back out, but really need to improve the ride. First question is how much air should I run in air shock (manual says 50) and tire pressures (running 26 rear and 36 front)? Second question, what have you all done in suspension upgrades, tire upgrades, or lift kits to help smooth out the ride? Or are the trikes just hard to get a nice ride? Thanks in advance for any advice or suggestions.
I run 36 front, 21 rear.
My ‘13 doesn’t have Tire Pressure Monitoring. 😉
Aftermarket rear shocks and a Comfort Lift will help take the jolt out of most bumps.
