Bob, I doubt that my rig can be adjusted any more than it is, since the guy that set it up is a racer, and used to build 'em for racers. You have got to be kidding right? Fast is all in perception until you get on the clock. It is better than having the bike parked in the garage is all I can say for it at this time. It is an adjustment for to make the bike a little more useful than it was to me.
Maybe he set the thing up for left hand turns? :0) There should not be any appreciable differnce, two wheel or three. I don't try to outrun my two wheeled friends, but they never have to wait for me. What combination do you have? My eyes can't make out the details in that little photo.
Perhaps it's just a matter of getting more miles under the belt.

Well it sure turned my bike into a slow, difficult, grocery getter, don't believe me? why is there a several page manual to read before ever getting on one? The only thing that is like riding an M/C is the controls and where you sit. 6 months and going. 120# of ballast.
There's a several page manual in the glove box of my wifes van on how to opperate it also.
What tires are you using on eah corner, and how many miles are you getting out of each of your tires. That will tell you a lot about its set up. If it eats tires, its not right, no matter WHO did the work.

cute cluade, have you looked in a mirror lately ?..........fly
Are you kidding? My mama didn't raise no fool! I try not to look in mirrors.
Hahahaha There's a scene in the Colour Purple where Whoopie Goldberg's husband brings home his girlfriend. Whoopie opens the door, the girlfriend looks at her, throws her head back and starts laughing. Finally she shrieks, "You sho' is UGLY!"
I replay that scene every morning in my head when I shave.

Lumpy,
You need a better setup on your rig.
fast means I have to slow down for the 2 wheelers in front of me on a club ride thru the twistys....it is NOT a perception when my wife is banging on my right leg, to slow down!
AND, I dont even have a HP outfit.
normally, I just cruise around on it slowly, enjoying the roads and scenery, but ...lose the PERCEPTION that a rig as a big ,slow , clumsy outfit!
It is a joy to ride, every day! sure beats riding on 2 wheels fore me. after 40 years on 2 wheels, I find out i can go thru the twisty turns just as fast, if not faster, AND safer!! but..you need practice to do this. dont go out and push your limits.
