Need some inputs concerning steering on our rig. I am running a Motorvation sidecar on a 2005 Royal Star Venture. Unit seems to be aligned fine. I have about 30K on the rig. On our last 4800 mile road trip a few weeks ago I was really having a tough time near the end of the day steering the unit, just getting old I suppose.

Is anyone aware of a kit that can be installed to easy the effort steering the Royal Star. I know the Harley's have a triple tree mod, but have not seen anything for a Royal Star.

Thanks

Hannigan shows a Steer-Lite modification for the RSV here: http://www.hannigantrikes.com/products/yamaha-royal-star-venture-tour-deluxe-conversion/

And Custom Machine & Design in Illinois (manf of the trees for Jena's Burgman) has trees for the RSV -- 2nd down here: http://www.customtripletrees.com/TREES/YAMAHA/yamaha.html

I had a new raked triple tree from hannigan installed along with my sidecar on my 2007 RSV. It makes a huge difference in the sterring effort
