    1985 Kawasaki Prairie 250

    Guy I know just picked up a 85 Kawasaki Prairie 250 three wheeler . It has this weird half hoop behind the front tire ... Is it some sort of a guard or something ? I don't get what it's for ... It's in decent shape but has some really odd front suspension . Looked it up and all the pics show it .. Anyone know what it's purpose is ?

    Hello



    It's called a leading link suspension. See 2 earlier versions in the links below. Funny looking but effective for it's intended purpose.

    Yea the suspension is something ... when i first saw it i was like it that supposed to keep your feet out of the front tire or something lol ... he only paid 250 bucks for it so its not bad at all, runs good actually.
