Easier steering. You don't counter steer or lean a trike into a curve or turn, you actually have to steer it by turning the handlebars. A leading link is like having power steering on a bike.

I'm fixing to add a sidecar to my 1100 and wish I already had a leading link front end for it but they are 2500 bucks, new, more than I originally paid for my bike.

Will take it easy in the turns then when funds allow will price upgrading the front forks.I know where you are coming from with cost of new parts,i am dreading final cost when trikes ready for road:shock:
