  1. Easy bud thanks for your response, I'm new to this and not exactly computer savvy being an early 60s child. The noise is coming from the front wheel and I've checked everything which is tight and working as it should. The noise is only when cornering whilst at speed over 20mph. Its sounding like a bearing now you mentioned it. I'll take the wheel off over the weekend and get it looked at next week, thanks again for your time and help buddy it's greatly appreciated. Thanks for your help and time bud, it's the morning after so I'll give it a watch when my heads straight, again thanks.... greatly appreciated...
  2. I bought a Dragstar 1100 Trike which I've put a lot of time and money into but I get a massive tank slapper at low speed. Pulling away is fine if I'm getting up speed and slowing down is fine until I get below 15mph then I have to grip tight which stops the slapping. When cornering at any speed I get a kind of scraping, grinding sound. I'm mechanically minded engine and electrical wise but this has me beat. The seals on the forks are good, I've had the tyres off the rear end and checked, balanced up and re valved, they're new tyres. The front tyres not that old and in good shape. There's no play in the steering at all and everything is tight. Any ideas on what could be the cause please, as I said it's beaten me? Thanks........
  3. Easy folks, I'm 'Hirsty' and new on here.. I'm an old skool biker pushing 60 and made the move from Bike to Trike because I'm rattling in the back nowadays.
