I have the manual, and spent all morning fooling with it. The SC wheel is vertical toe is 3/4 and lean is +1 with me on it so it is off for a test ride. One of the rear mount set screws is stripped out and I am not sure how I will get it out. i am running 10lb in the shocks which is max for a solo rider and thats what owners manual suggested.
For touring I use 55 psi. 180# driver and a loaded hack.
ok after 50 miles on the highway and backroads it is pretty good. actually a vast improvement from where i started. i think a little more lean out but i need to ride it more as coming on the hard right freeway exit i had a little pucker doing 25.
Some ballast behind the seat will help your laundry bill on those off camber right turns.
Remember slow before the turn and throttle out off the turn.

ok around town on city and back roads it tracks true for the most part under 50mph. On the super slab it pulls to the right a little but not unmanageable. If I stayed in the left lane it tracked straight in the right lane it wants to go in the right median. Do you adjust yours differently for lots of highway riding? Or find the best compromise? I guess that is where the electric lean would be great. Too bad HD never did that.
I have mine set for an average crowned road and my normal s/c loading.
With the modified trees I have little problems with handling, whether superslab, Mum in the hack or solo touring.
Road conditions with a hack rig are in a constant flux and I don't want to have to fiddle around with trimming the rig all day long. I find my arms handle the job quite well without the expensive (ugly) added machinery and controls.

Thank you for all the help Lonnie, I think I have it close to dialed in. Maybe just a tad more lean out, what a pain to have to recheck/adjust for the toe every time you adjust the lean.
I have a 02 Harley ultra with a Harley 06 hack. I am running 3/4 toe in with 1 degree lean out and works well for me. I run no extra ballast in the hack. Runs fine this way loaded or not loaded.
