I have a Catrike 700 with similar steering design and I don't have a clue.
I would also suggest you go to
'BentRider Online and post your problem in the Technical Discussion section
Technical Discussion - BentRider Online Forums It will catch the attention of a lot more Catrike owners than who post here. You will have to register in order to post but it is free. Unfortunately you need to have a few posts there before you can add a picture.
I have gotten much more help here than anywhere. In that, I am very thankful. This problem was a bear to pin down and took not only a couple of shops but some pure luck to figure what the issue actually was (and may still be). So far, since the last guy realized that the headsets were loose again in one ride he stumbled upon the star nut going crooked issue I described. IDK what he did, but so far they have stayed properly tensioned and the wife put her first 15 mile week in.
I cannot fault Catrike for not touching this. I am not the original owner and they really have no stake in giving me any manner of factory coverage or support. They did suggest the local dealer/service shop, which is about all one could ask considering. I don't see this as a fault in design or anything, it was just a weird issue that didn't present in a way that was easy to identify and correct.
