rake & trail
Just looking at the spec on the Ultra and Tri Glide. The rake is the same (26*) but the trail is different (Ultra 6.69", TriGlide 3.94"). Can anyone explain?
also has anyone put a rake kit on the Tri Glide, can't believe the Ultra & Tri Glide have the same rake, trikes need more rake to ease the turning
thanks

From my own limited experience with the 2011 Tri Glide, I can manage the potential oversteer now that I've got a few hundred miles on the thing. The effort to turn is fine in my case, but others who've got upper joint and/or strength challenges might find it a bit too much for long rides.
At any rate.. that's my 2 cents' worth!

I figured they'd have had to do something like that... No other way that I could see to change the trail.

Legends does not make a Comfort Lift™ Kit. They make a standard lift kit that does not provide the additional shock angle to make the ride more plush.
We used to make a Standard Lift and a Comfort Lift™ , but have discontinued the standard. The Comfort Lift™ Kit is does everything the standard does and more. Link to details HERE.
Regarding the discussion of Rake & Trail. It can be a bit intimidating when first trying to understand it all, but there is a really good article at this LINK, by Mark Zimmerman, that gives all the technical info, but in fairly clear "English".
