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.


I was thinking you had the same rig.

Still never told us what tire it was or what pressure you are running.

You need the Rake kit (ez-steer) from Champion. You will have the purchase it from them or one of their dealers that installs trike kits or sidecars. The nice thing about their kit is you keep the fork tins.

I took the damper off my sidecar bike and had a bad wobble at low speed acceleration. Once I put their kit on, the wobble disappeared and I do not need the damper anymore. I bought the kit directly from Champion. Like Sprt220 said, it is like adding power steering

Rick, nice looking trike. You can get all the information you need at this website http://www.triketalk.com/forum/. There is member of the site that sells trike kits and the rake kits. He charges a little less for the rake kit if you are a member of the site, no charge to sign up. I think he is in North Carolina also. If you join the site and post your question, I'm sure he will respond quickly. I have a Goldwing Trike, and it does not wobble at all, has a 5.5 degree rake. So if the trike is set up properly you should not have the wobble. Good luck
