Basic Headstand

Next Image

This photo just shows how I'm seting up the placement of the Trike Head. I'm machineing my own head using my little Mini Leathe. This has proven to be a big challenge since my leath is to small to get to the ends of the head stock at the 7 inch length that I want my head to be. So I have had to get creative again and machine small sections of stock for the bearings and races, then weld a short piece of stock in between each bearing portion. Will remain to be seen if this is going to work well. I'll be adding some support braces to the head stand later. Want to see where my triple trees will be first so I can allow space for full turning of the forks. I want to be able to turn my wheel nearly flat to either side for the shortest possible turning radius. I want to be able to make a complete circle in the Trikes own length.
