I am not using the forks for the suspension. The bikes I am sourcing them from are Walmart level so they wouldn't work even with the forks normally placed.

I am thinking of a different placement for the forks, weld then to the ends of the front T of the frame this would put the forks in the traditional positions. Then the steering might be able to be mounted to the center frame closer to me, and turn much better.

You guys are awesome for the insight and tips.

My goal is to make this for as little money as possible. I am trying to build an affordable casual use handcycle.

I will reposition the forks to the new position and post the images of that.

Loving the insight here, and thanks again for the time you took and are taking to reply.

This image shows kinda of what I am thinking about http://www.unico-jp.com/blog/wp-cont...ilimanjaro.jpg

My forks will be 17 or 18 inches apart.

The image here shows one way to connect the two. I could weld long enough connection brackets that I could use that as my steering handle. https://www.innoros.ru/sites/default...air_rungu2.jpg

You got me thinking. Thanks
