Well, it will lean a little bit due to the nature of the head angle. The more it swings outwards, the more it leans because the rear wheel isn't in line with the head angle anymore. If the head tube were vertical it wouldn't lean at all.

1) I misread your first post. For some reason, I thought you were suggesting putting tie downs on the bike to hold it straight. Tie downs on the bars would help relieve some stresses on the forks, but seem unecessary with this set-up. Tie downs used on the example (marketed to the public) carrier earlier in the post are required because there is essentially nothing holding the bike upright with that design. The OP's design holds the bike upright because the axle is stuck through a solid mount which is, in turn, stuck in a receiver bolted to a car.

As I said, "lean" was a simplistic way to put it. However, if the car turns, the fork turns with it and, since the fork is angled back, the frame of the bike will not remain perpendicular to the pavement. It would, effectively, "lean" away from the direction of the turn. Kind of like countersteering in reverse. Oops, there I said it, "countersteering". If that doesn't get the "discussion" going, then how about this:

2) Depends on what you mean by "stabilizes".

Well everything turned out working great no problems with the but I will remove the chain next time.
I was counting on the front springs to keep it upright the axle was a perfect fit with the hitch I made and I made sure it was packed with grease to protect the axle

Glad to hear you made it and all is well. Has your bike been painted that you are aware of? Your yellow looks lighter than "normal", or maybe that's just the pics.

Sorry, VTR1000F, I thought you were joking about the "lean". It's hard to tell with your sense of humor sometimes.

I hada a few drinks last night and gyroscopic is the word I meant to type in my little story!

It appears VTR, 7 have it figured. But since Mr. Tea (I pitty tha fool) got his bike back safely without issue, I'm assuming this disscusion will keep going untill we figure out what the definition of "Is" is, the meaning of life, why we weren't sucked up into those little black holes at CERN, and if there is time, possibly make some side bets on how long it takes untill Insulinboy posts another reference to the YZF600 (I kid, I kid).

Ya its been painted it was a track bike at some point and the previous owner converted it back for street use but its still kinda stripped down.. and the meaning of life is whatever you want it to be

VTR1000F

Yeah, a lot of track bikes are painted yellow in an effort to make them faster.
