I've already gone 10x further on MKII than MKI. It definitely doesn't turn as sharp as a standard bicycle; however, at 65" wheelbase it is the same as many other recumbents.

The front wheel being that far ahead doesn't make for hard steering- in fact it turns too easily and sort of wants to swing around back and caster- hence the need for more rake. When I rake it out I think I'll reduce the trail... or, more likely, I'll try the drive fork the way it is and if I hate it I'll straighten it out. Just like with the rake- I knew the theory but tested it anyway; now I know it's reality for this contraption at least.

P.S. That excess framework on the bottom of the "drive fork" will go away eventually.

Yes I realize it's much uglier than MKI... with the changes soon to come it should look better and even if not, hopefully it'll get covered up with bodywork...
