Saw this parked outside the Ace Cafe at the weekend. Tidily done, but I wonder how it handles, being so narrow?

Yeah, that was my thought. My first trike was very narrow & felt like it was going to fall over in corners.
I didn't take a close look as the owner, (mildly disabled), was chatting to someone else about it, but it had 2 pairs of shocks. The second set may have been suspension for the seat but not sure.
Triker Pete had a very similar styled seat on his Reliant trike.

What's the deal on the gizmos mounted to tops of rear mud flaps? Can't quite identify on my monitor.

Yep, just luggage racks. Hope he had some decent guard mounts cos they're always the weak point -lots of leverage on a fairly small mounting area. Vibration doesn't help either. So the extra weight of luggage strapped to the guards will just add to the problem.
