Harley-Davidson to build a Tri-Rod?
Material acquired from the US Patent and
Trademark Office states that Harley-Davidson may indeed build another
variation of the trike. Their first production three wheeler obviously
being the upcoming 2009 Tri Glide.
An incarnation previously available only from aftermarket
fabricators, the Tri Glide is based upon the Harley touring line of
chassis and will offer three-wheeled transportation with OEM quality,
fitment and warranty. This upcoming version, however, is a huge
departure from the Tri Glide.
Appearing to look more like the Can Am Spyder Roadster, this upcoming
creation looks to have innovative leaning suspension mechanics
according to files submitted to the US Patent and Trademark Office.
According to the submission, the “leaning suspension system includes a
transverse beam, left and right damping members, left and right control
arms, and at least one lean actuator. The transverse beam is coupled to
the frame and pivotable about the vehicle axis.”
