Hey guys, I have a question, I have an old full side three wheeled Miami sun Trike and thinking about putting a springer fork on it. My problem is the only brake is a side pull on the fork. Wondering if anyone knows if they make a brake for a springer fork? Any inside would be helpful, thanks

You mean like a springer fork on a custom chopper motorcycle? If so then why not check with the company that is selling this fork you want to use and ask them what brake they suggest.

Or at least give us links to the products so we can look at them and offer some sort of opinion that may or may not help.

I think you're in trouble. There's obviously nothing at all to mount a brake on that thing. But that does leave you with one funky idea, an internal drum brake hubl. Still gives you some braking but with a nice clean "no caliper" look. Just a cable running down to the front hub.

Can't seem to find a picture of a wheel built up on a bike but here's a link to the Sturmey Archer page showing what the hub looks like. The black arm is what the brake levers against to stop the bike. It would have to be run up along one of the legs and fixed to it somehow.
