Ok, I'm gonna show my ignorance here, but what is a secondary triple tree?

Doug unless he's calling the bottom triple tree secondary , let me share your ignorance .
we all have our faults .....others point them out to us......guess we know what theirs are
So, Tim...
Enlighten the masses, buddy! What are you calling a secondary triple tree? And do you have pics of the Mercedes diesel trike you're building? That can't be anything but COOL!

My guess is he is wanting to set the handlebars back and run tie rods to the triple trees.

Where did he go, I'm curious if I made a lucky guess.

I believe the Renegade has such a thing. There is a triple tree at the fork two rods extend back to a second one. If not turning the wheel would require you to move the bars 5' in either direction
When I am gona fix something I will fix it. You don't have to bug me every 6 months.

If you look at the Renegade trikes, that's how they are made.
I'm wondering why you couldn't use a top tree from another front end of the same or a similar make and model. Might have to modify the two, to accomodate the tie rods, but it'd be cheaper than fabricating one from scratch. Just thinkin' out loud...

I took another triple tree and turned it upside down on the forks,with center shaft down to hook the tie rods too
