All done road test went ok handles ok no wobbles at all. holds the road well and the main thing that this was for the suspension works a treat use air shocks 1st off but seemed to low so replace with standard gl1500 one and there fine. removed the air compressor to check over but if the standard one are ok I will leave then :thumbsup:

All road testing done no problems with the irs setup. its ideal for this weight bike/trike works well. getting use to the width but may still reduce a bit. so that me done with building. just going to enjoy riding this.
