Making a low rider? My fear with this on a trike would be even more effort required to turn.
It'll have a steering wheel and geared steering box, so effort's not a problem.
No luck there - they said they don't remember ever seeing any, either.
Still hoping for input on the OP: "What's involved in shortening the fixed (inner) fork tubes - and springs? . . ."
I presume there's more to it than disassemble, cut 3" off bottom of springs, cut 3" off bottom of tubes, and reassemble. For example, any machine shop work necessary?
. . . Not sure how a steering wheel would work or why you would want one. Be interested in hearing about this.

. . How does the leading link arm keep from just colapsing? I assume the leading link moves up and down to provide some suspension? Does it have a spring? How is the steering mechanism connected to the neck? . . .
EXCELLENT! Much appreciated detail. I'll get back to you after I've digested as much as I can.Maybe I can help. Of the many trikes that I have built, one of them was a Trimuter. So i'll offer my recommendations to your plans and try to answer some of your specific questions. . . . I hope I didn't ramble too much, but I do try to go step by step in engineering advice, and to explain the whys and whatfors as we go. . . .
