Rake Kit Source

[Mavigogun]

So, most all of the usual suspects don’t make a rake kit for the C50- Frankenstein Trikes doesn’t, Lehman is out of business, Chopper Kits USA doesn’t, Cut N Shoot Customs doesn’t, Morton’s Custom Cycles doesn’t, Mean Cycles doesn’t, Widow Maker’s Boneyard doesn’t, Low Brow Customs doesn’t, Kool Metal doesn’t, DMC Sidecars doesn’t, Motor Trike doesn’t, Neihause Cycles doesn’t.

Custom Triple Trees does- at a little over $1k, plus taxes and shipping.

Any less costly recommendation will be appreciated.

Try searching the forum for "Earles" or "leading link" forks. There are several good discussions about these forks. You can also search for info on springer forks where you can adjust the trail with the rocker geometry. Check the Tech,tech,tech thread in VW trikes forum. Both of these custom fork options could be built to use your stock triple trees.

Did you check with DMC sidecars in Washington state

Sadly, DMC Sidecars reports the machine shop that fabricated the parts for them closed, and haven’t supported the C50 for 10 years.

You could check with Claude Stanley at Freedom Sidecars in Pennsylvania.
