That looks nice and light with nice bends
keep up the photo's
Axle and wheel, what you using ?
Don't you need brakes
do you think it will take the beating it's going to get ?
I'm not criticizing, it's hard to tell from a photo but shouldn't you gusset the joins for added strength ?
Cheers

2004 TTR250 - Highway Dirtbike Hand Guards, 38mm Bar Risers, D606 Front & Rear, Opened up Airbox with Twin Air Filter, Re-jetted Carby, B+B Bash Plate & Frame Guards, DIY 3mm Alloy Tail Tidy, 14/47 Gearing.
There will be a few gussets...
it's a leaner,,, so the bike can still lean in the corners
theres a lot less strain on the car & bike..
as the bike leans the whole car steers into the corner but as the car
goes up/down over bumps it dosn't steer or steer the bike..
This is done by putting the front pivot point on the bike higher
than the rear so the front pivot has a longer arc ratio as the bike leans
pushing out or pulling in the front of the car more than the rear so the
car sits on a angle to the bike in the corners...
Wheel is a rear mag off a Suzuki FXR150 17" with bigger bearings to
take a 3/4" axle... the arm on the car is all stainless steel... still
looking for a suitable shock...
This is the 2nd leaner unit I have built...

OK, let me see if I got this right
Your saying the car pivots as well as the axle on the car ?
so that's the single bar that is sticking out with the gusset
and the little triangulated section is where the 3rd wheels is going ?
Got to see this thing in action !

that single bar will attach just in front of the motor.. there is another "not on in the pic" back ferther that attachs behind
the motor under the swing arm... they are in the centre line of the bike... the car pivots on the bikes centre line
Heres a link to my first leaner build... cargo car on a XR250... yer see how it all works... quite simple really...

Way cool stuff
what are you using for the pivot joints ?
they look like steering components of some type
The last pic on page 1 on ADV gives a great idea of it's ability
I was thinking of selling the TTR one day and getting a DR650 but now maybe not !!

Pivots are 3/4" UNF rod ends / rose joints....
