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

    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.

    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.

    I had a "Homemade" set-up similar to this on my second VW Trike I built in the 70s....since I had/have "Freebie Junk Yard Access", I had lots of tie rod type linkages to look through.....it worked out great.....

    If you look at the Renegade trikes, that's how they are made.

    Yep....I really like that set-up. The Renegade Trikes look really good to me anyway. I can see loading up the Family and hitting the Road on one.....

    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
