Honda 3-Wheeler Fitted With Duals
"They greatly improve traction and stability," says Stuart Harvey, Oakland, Maryland, who added duals to his Honda Big Red 200 ATV 3-wheeler.
  Adding duals solved the tipping problem that's common with 3-wheelers.
  A spacer placed against the bead part of the rims holds the tires approximately 1 in. apart. Two pieces of 1/4-in. threaded rod per wheel hold the duals on.
  The inside tires have slightly more air pressure when running on hard ground so they carry a bit more weight, reducing wear and tear on the machine. However, on soft ground or snow, weight is carried across both sets of wheels.
  "There's very little difference in steering and hardly any power loss. The only problem is that it does restrict passage through narrow gates and wooded trails. The machine has low range reverse and shaft drive, giving it more than adequate power for every day use. I liked it a lot before and I like it even more now," says Harvey.
