Yes, that's the best design, (and my prefered design) though Harley purests insist on the 1F design. This is one way to keep the 1F-2R and prevent the roll over problem.

A tilting 1F-2R can be designed with each rear wheel on it's own swing arm, linked to the front wheel's position, and with it's own chain from a forward differential. Too much modification, though, would probably take it out of the Harley fan's interest.

I'm more concerned about Ackermann steering geometry, with the one front wheel swinging from one side to the other.

There are other ways, more compact and less unattractive, to move the front wheel from center to the outside of a turn than this caster design.
