Triglide tracks to the right
Anybody have any idea what could cause it to track to the right? I only notice it on the highway regardless of lane position. It is very slight and takes only little pressure to keep it straight, but as soon as you let up, it tracks right again. Do you think it could be axle alignment? Would appreciate any advice. It's stumped my dealer so far.

That is what I would look at first. A friend had an old tour-glide that needed an alignment at least every other year. His was more of a motor/trans rubber mount alignment. His bike would pull to the right whenever it was out.

You are obviously blind or confused Sir. The post is where it needs to be in the Tri Glide section.

This concerned me at the time as mine was a dealer trade out of Tampa. Mine was checked and is fine. I've also noticed what some of the posters have already stated. Nothing dramatic just the way the roads are here.

Tracking
The tracking can be caused by a lot of different things on a trike. Measure up to the rear fenders from the ground on both sides they must be exactly the same, if not this will cause the forks to lean and a pull in one direction or another. Can also be checked by setting the forks straight and using a framing square on the front rotors. This is an adjustment to the rear frame. Also rearend can be out of line at the belt adjustment screws. Break drag on a rear wheel can cause it to pull. The forks could be twisted in the triple tree making it seem to pull to one side. The list goes on, hope this helps, Jerry.

Thanks for the responses. I should have mentioned that the dealer did call Tech Services. I originally thought it was the road too, but when it tracks to the right from the fast lane, then I have to assume it isn't the road. Thanks again everybody!
