Utah trikes steering adjustment
Great time. Such a smooth ride. Nearly effortless joy.
Anyway, I don't do inner-city riding, and I finally just can't justify messing with the steering. The stock Tour is a luxury ride, and I'm leaving it at that. I'm keeping the plate as a reminder not to get wound up.
Comments
I have ridden almost 50 miles with the plate only, and I love the steering mod. Does not feel more twitchy to me at all.
^^^^^ What he said ^^^^^^^
I liked riding both the Path and the Cruiser. One Path had the "lift" in it, but I didn't like what it did to the "balance" of the handlebars to the rest of the trike. The Cruiser put the first real trike grin on my face. What fun!
The Catrike people would be horrified, but even though they are both direct steer, I enjoyed riding the Rover so much more than the Villager! There are several reasons for this: one is, of course, the height. For *me* the higher seat works better for my knees, weight, etc. The second was the handlebars, which I hadn't given a second thought to, but was absolutely wonderful! And of course, there was the adjustable seat, which that version of Villager didn't have. Once they *did* include adjustable seats, the price increase took it totally out of my budget (which had been teetering, anyway).
I didn't get to ride a Path/Cruiser with the steering adjustment, but I can see where it would help. I had to make a pretty tight u-turn in the UT area that leads to their test riding area (parking lot
before I get there. IMHO, unless you're doing a lot of tight u-turns, the adjustment may not be necessary. Once I started riding, it didn't make any difference. I went speeding (*my* speeding) up the incline, around the lot, zig-zagging everywhere, and had a great time! Of course, with the Cruiser I didn't change gears. My derailleur-phobia didn't want me to throw a chain. Otherwise, I didn't notice any problem with steering with the Cruiser and frankly, most u-turns I do aren't so tight that I feel that I'd need an adjustment. A fun trike to ride! Because it's lower than what my knees could handle on a daily basis, and because it'd cost me too much to change over to an IGH, I decided against the Cruiser. That being said, it's a cool, cool trike!

To install the plate simply involves undoing two bolts and then reinstalling them with the plate and then adding two more bolts (plate to tie rods) five minutes! It is easy, nothing to it especially if you do not grind.
YOU DO NOT HAVE TO GRIND! Any grinding involved was ONLY to the right side of the trike. Installing the plate without grinding will give you a much greater turning radius to the LEFT and a much improved turning radius to the right.
YES - I have installed this MOD on my Cruiser. YES - it makes a great difference. NOT grinding hardly diminishes the benefit at all.
It would just be silly not to install the plate - IMHO

Now that you mention it, I find that when I make a sharp U-turn, 99% of the time, I turn to the left anyway.
I didn;t think long and hard about grinding -- I just didn't do it. The mod is still well worth the modest cost. If it doesn't hurt steering performance, why wouldn't you do it?
