It's a 1-wheeler, so the attachment point must resist 'roll' moments, as well as allow it to wag in turns, curves.
It will be like my one-wheeler for the CRX. It's frame relies essentially on a motocross front fork, de-raked to the vertical, which handles turning, and by attaching where the front axle is, it can pivot in 'pitch' to accommodate pot holes and pressure ridges in the road surface, which the swing-arm cannot take care of.
Burt Munro towed his Indian Scout streamliner around New Zealand this way.
