I was going to ask the same thing, but figured it's in a corridor so he can't get the angle.
Oh by the way thats not a corridor  this is a corridor |

great looking stuff Mouse,think manky meant was lower the headstock"front end" till the headstock is about 8 inches above"roughly" the heads of the motor making the front lower and overall length longer cheers m8 thats what i thought he meant too but i wasnt sure about the extra lenght (rake) that would cause with the forks |

I just meant that a high steering head on my first trike build made the steering very heavy & awkward. We always use standard length forks now & mount them low & kicked out. Looks good, (in my humble opinion), & helps stability. Does look nice Mouse.

I'm no expert mate. I can only go on personal experience with my own builds. I know too much trail's supposed to be a bad thing, but it's never caused us any problems. However, 5 inch over length forks & a high headstock on the Yam trike made the steering very clumsy. Every trike's different & there's loads of other variables that can adversely affect handling. Centre of gravity too high, wheelbase too narrow or too short, blah, blah, blah.
Try it & see?
