I take it that it was a private sale? You need to check your steering stem bearings for the proper torque.Tire Air pressure?

from Seattle WA

Did they rake the forks when they did the trike kit? Could be the head bearing also

First of all, is this a REAL trike kit or is it one of those Voyager rigs? You have at least loose steering head bearings, and a worn and/or under inflated front tire can give you fits. Also, what tires are you running, What size front, and what pressure?

You should put up an introduction thread so all the guys will check it out and know you are here. I'd suggest "trike problem" or something similar in your subject line too, to draw attention.

I'm sure they make that kit for a reason. What tires? what pressure?

I have an 07 with the same kit and have the same problem to but only at very slow speeds.What does the front tire look like? With a trike you ride on the middle of the tire and the center will wear more the the outside causing cupping.When I got a new tire it went away.Also don't let go of you left hand, you will notice as soon as you put both hands on the bars it goes away.I would check the head bearing as well just in case. I have the easy steer which puts a 6 degrees rate, makes turning very easy. Ken
p.s. we need to see a pic.
