This one is more aesthetically pleasing. two solidly mounted booms, one from each side of the front of the trike, support a canted swivel plate, whereon are mounted a reverse rake set of springer forks. As the trike handle bars are turned, a chain turns the swivel mounted springer forks to the side, supporting the outer front corner of the trike in a turn. The canted plate will displace the bottom of the front tire further out than the top, helping to keep cornering forces from trying to push the tire off it's bead.
