just an update on my trike steering issues where i was going to fit a volkswagon damper.a mate said if its not stiffer in dampning than the one thats on there then its useless and to much of a job to fabricate brackets for installation. the one thats on there is 400mm long with 7 settings and set on 7 with not much difference.had everyting checked out and nothings bent.so we agreed on plan b and added another one on the right side with both set on 5 as a starting point.now theres no more wobbles a steers near perfect.also moved the seat forward 2 inches raised the rear modified the seat springs so they work as a shockabsorber not just a spring so theres no side movement.its now a pleasure to ride thanks all

Good to see you got it sorted. I know you've been working on it for a while.
