Trikes

Hi
I am getting a trike at the weekend & would like to no how to lighten
the front end. It is powered by a
Kwak 1100 engine. Had thought of putting a big box over the rear axle
with some weight in. I would
be very grateful for any ideas.

 

Why? Is the steering feel too heavy? If that's the reason you want to
reduce the weight on the front end, the best approach is to install
custom triple clamps that reduce the trail. A set of leading axle forks
would also do that.

Also, if the fork is raked out at ridiculous angle, the steering will
fell too heavy as the front tire pushes everytime you go around a
corner.

 

Helium in the front tyre?

 

How about a 300-gallon tank of Berryman's B-12 Chemtool Choke and
Carburetor Cleaner behind the rear axle?

i think you want the rear to slide before the front.
my motor-trike did.
it was quite controllable.

I have got the trike, unfortunately I did no notice that the front tyre
was low in air pressure. I did pump it up but it only lasted over night
before it was low again. help.
