Frankenstein triple trees
FRANKENSTEIN Trikes originally designed their triple
trees for use on Harley-Davidson Heritage and Touring
models that have been converted to trikes, using the

Frankenstein say that when their raked triple trees are
used with stock fork tubes and a 21in wheel, the correct
trail can be retained.

MÜLLER Motorcycles in Germany, known for
their six-piston brake for Harley models,
have added to their product range with new
300mm brake discs. The floating brake discs
are said to improve brake performance
considerably.
Advantages of the brake discs are a fully
controllable brake pressure as well as an
even wear of the brake pads. Due to
improved heat dissipation and the floating
bearing, distortion of the brake discs is
nearly impossible ev
