Hi Howard and Aaron,
Each to his own of course and again trying not to be too critical but it would be a shame to spend a lot of time on a design for it to only fail and need a rethink.
I dont think your (Howard) stays will last very long. They will fatigue at the mountings being tube. The assembly needs to be much stronger to cope with the vibration etc.
For trials work (Aaron) I can see the atttraction of covering the moving wheel but again there will be considerable impact and the whole assembly will need to be very strong and as a result heavy. Not ideal.
For what its worth I would go for a frame mounted design similar to the link in the thread. You can triangulate this reasonably well, as a result it does not need to be heavily engineered so retaining lightness and regidity and not puting extra weight and load on your hub/king pin and front end in general.
Just my observasions though.
