I don't think that I've ever heard a negative comment from anyone who has put a lift kit on their trike. After you leveled out the trike did you also level out the TourPack?

Going to try to get the lift on the wife's bike today.Only reservations is she has V&H exhaust. I hear that sometimes the swing arm hits the cross pipe. For those that had this problem, did you modify the pipe of have someone build a new cross pipe?

On the 2010 I had I leveled the tour-pak. I used the railes from tGlidestuff http://www.tglidestuff.com/TourBoxLift.html. Great workmanship and they made the trike look better without the tilted tour-pak. |

The only issue we have ever heard of was with the Z pipes (right before the slip-ons) needs to be adjusted on some aftermarket pipes to allow clearance of the swingarm. The crossover pipe is in front or the swingarm and does not have any issue.
What we did was simply have one of the girls sit on the bike, and we jacked up the rear end a half to 3/4 inch or so in order to align the last bolt hole. Once everything was torqued and the bike set back on its own weight, the interference wasn't an issue. We might have been able to make some minor adjustments to the pipes, but I didn't see any way to avoid the installation interference. |
Kevin Got the lift kit on yesterday. Took about 3 hrs and at least half that time was the exhaust. It did hit the V&H pipes. Had to slot the mounting bracket holes in the V&H support bracket.This gave us 3/8" of an inch and loosening the exhaust clamps and twisting swearing and pulling was able to adjust the Z pipe enough on both sides to have 1/8 clearance once everything was back in place and the rear axle hanging in the air. In other words shocks fully extended. Once the weight of the trike was back on the rear wheels the clearance opened up to about 1/2" with no rider. I think we are good! So the test ride is today. Then re torque the rear wheels. Trike can now turn in the driveway at a full 90 deg to the road and not drag the pipes!:icon_dance-tap: Wife is happy camper!!
