STEERING!!

I've finally reached the point at which I can start designing the steering setup. Getting an Ackerman effect I believe is going to be important for this bike. Since this is not going to be a high speed machine I need to be able to make my turns with as much ease as possible. I've contemplated using a bellcrank inbetween the the pivot points. Although after reading several different posting online I may have a slight bit of ackerman built in by the way I have positioned the tabs that the steering arms connect by. I'll post pictures later of these mounts. I found this picture on a site that may have my steering figured out as far as the ackerman stuff. Once I have the two sides tied together then I'll work on the handle bars.
