Hello all,
I'm new to Vakyries and this forum and have a question. My Valkyrie is an 01 and is a trike. While on a trip to S.C. I was told that if I had an EZ Steer system installed on it that it would improve the steering. Does anyone have this installed on their trike and if so do you know of where and by whom I can have it installed in Michigan? Thanks. By the way, very cool site here!

I don't know what the EZ Steer is, but could you be talking about a Raked Triple Tree, like 6* or 8*?

I have one of these: http://www.xf6-custom.com/partpages/8tripletree.html on my Valkyrie sidecar rig. 8deg rake kit. Darrell is an advertiser here, and an outstanding guy to do business with. Let him know exactly what you have, and he will design what you need. Top shelf products, and support. MP |

Welcome to the insanity. You are now lost FOREVER. Course there be worse things to be doing-forced to drive a cage ALL the time comes to mins.  You have already been helped on your ? but i will say this-almost all of the folks here be real helpful with the valk and other things. Take a look at the general board some time.  The short time i've been here i have had my questions answered quickly (and no surprise) correctly.  RIDE SAFE. |

Welcome to Shangri-la.    QUOTE: "i will say this-almost all of the folks here be real helpful with the valk and other things..." He is right, lots of help here... Especially when it comes to spiritual health, fears, anxieties, brain squashing, politics, religion, psychiatry, geriatrics... you name it! "I'm out of my mind... but I'll be right back!" |

give darryl at xf6-custom a call......he makes triple trees in the 6 and 8 degree variety for both two wheels and three wheels. he has made the trees for a number of triked valks. he's also a member, and a supporting vendor to this forum. now to answer your question......a raked triple tree on your trike would be like adding power steering to it when now it doesn't have it. it make it handle better. once you have it on a trike, you would never ride another one without a raked tree. give darryl a call.
