Kawasaki trike

Thanks for all the comments, I'm probably better of with paying the extra & buying one of these then Or not?

That looks a lot better, now does it pivot on the bottom section in line with the ball joint?

It doesn't, it has two pins that slot into the plate with retaining clips... the first pic i posted does pivot on the ball and the locating pin again secured by a clip which answers your question about it popping of going over a hump, i was thinking maybe i could make the first one look and operate the same as the last pic.... if you get what i mean :snigger:put a proper trailer hitch on and a couple of rod braces and gussets .... what do ya think ?

the whole thing needs to pivot or your front end WILL suffer lots of strain on corners
i have had to straighten the forks and front wheels from a number of idiots that have used this type of lift that dont pivot

if you lucky it may only twist in the yokes if fitted with pinch bolts and that not good too if its welded your focked

[gorbee01279]

As i said UGLYMICK the first pic design pivots on the ball and locating pin, the whole thing pivots, so you strap the wheel and handlebars down onto the frame and it would operate the same as towing a caravan or trailer. It was just the strength of the frame that looked dodgy to me being where it's welded to the wheel holder itself... needs some sort of bracing me thinks.

Have a look in For Sale sec, i have a towing frame for sale for £50.

Just seen it, how did you get on with it? that's the type everyone is saying is no good. To be honest there is one the same on flea bay £50.00 at the mo in norwich which is a lot closer for me than Bath but i will defo keep in mind.

I used to tow Herman da German ( now with D D ) very well. as long as you make sure the steering lock is off no probs. My new trike front wheel much wider but also much heavier.... front wheels of me van coming off the ground.
