Adding Weight to the Front Fork?

[1982-Honda-185S]

On my '82 185S i ride it alot in the snow now that its winter, and its a quite P.I.T.A to turn in the deep stuff, I was thinking on Fabbing up a bracket that will mount on my front fork between my front fender and my headlight. A set up like i run on my '46 John Deere Model B for Pulling and Plowing, where i can add weights from weight lifting in a gym onto it and then Drill a hole through the rod for a big cotter pin of some type.

I'm just curious if anyone else has done this to theres yet, and if they can provide pictures of their set up for me. Thanks!

Anyone??? I'm surprised no one has added weight to the front of theirs.

One of the benefits (IMO) is I can ride a wheelie forever on a trike and that's also one of the reasons I love three wheelers so much. So no, I have never considered adding weight, maybe someone else will chime in.

Wheelies are fun, which is why id make the weight removable. it would be handy though for snow and when im pulling my wood splitter around in the yard and in the woods.

Install a trailpro on the front. Or fill your tire with windshield wiper fluid.

Wont freeze, And is not as toxic as antifreeze

What adcotton said. I put washer fluid in my lawn mower tires along with wheel weights and chains for the steep hill by my pond. It was impossible to mow beforehand.

I see. But getting it out would be a PITA. I'm pretty sure im going to fab up a rack on my front fork this spring.
