Leading link forks,175x15inch car tyre & wheel,4 pot calipers
After having 2 close to wreck experiances last year decided to overall the front end.Replaced forks with leading link,wheel which now takes 175 x 15 inch car tyre.Replaced brake calipers with 4 pot.
Now got light precise steering,can steer with one hand no shakes.Stable cornering.
Towing teardrop trailer is now a pleasure,stable cornering and braking.

That is exactly what I am looking for. Where did you get that front end? Or did you build it? Do you know if it is available in the US. What kind of wheel did you use and was it part of the front end kit?

The leading link forks and 3 piece aluminium wheel was built by Wasp Motorcycles in UK.
Do not know if you,ve got manufacturer based in US

Thanks for the information.

I think I found their website and sent them an email to see about cost and shipping, Thank for sharing the pictures Alan. I don't know why such a builder has not started over here. This is so much better a system for motorcycles that have to be steered instead of leaned and trikes certainly don't need two wheel tire profiles.
