    For it to handle correctly I would think it would be so stiffly sprung as to negate the irs altogether.
    Rides:
    1986 ATC250R (sectional pipe and Klemm Research silencer)
    1986 ATC250R (Desert Bike, WAX-ON seat, Dual Cibie lights, Steering Stabilizer)
    1979 ATC110 (Bandito frame and forks, Turbo wheels, disc braked)
    1982 ATC70 (Lifan manual 125)
    1987 LT80 (piped, widened)

    i agree.. all the stabilty on a trike comes from the rear axle.. irs on a trike would be a complete mess..

    Well it can be good and bad. I was thinking that for the people who are going to go around the farm or into the woods for a few hours that the ride would be alot smoother and maybe more injoyabile then the solid axle, but for the people who just want to go around the track or who want to corner and go fast it would serve no purpose. just my 2cent
