taunton, somerset, UK
So I'm at the stage of "oh crap I've got to shell out even more £'s making this Damn trike usable". I currently have nearly 5" of trail & that needs to come down drastically.

So I could do with some recommendations on where I can get raked triple trees in the UK, for a '98 Vmax or indeed any other method to cut off 2-3" of trail (that's cheaper, which I doubt).

if you have some fabrication skills and equipment a leading link is not that hard to make... best part is the trail is adjustable and a lot less close tolerance machining to do

Interesting. I may have to resort to something like this as atm I have no leads on where to buy anything. Thanks.

edit: any idea how I'd work out what strength shocks to use?

not a clue.. sorry..i have had good luck though,, the lower mount is adjustable so u can basically change the spring rate an to is adjustable to change the height.. loaded the axle about an inch above the pivot works well
