How Could I Adapt This Shock to Work?

I was probably just going to be selling on the BMW HP2 front shock that came with the rear I wanted, but it's a nice bit of kit and I'd be keen to use as much as I can from the bike.

So I got to wondering if I could use it (and another) on the front of the trike!? Thing is, the upper mount is designed for one of BMW's paralever doo-dahs, so would need some sort of 'collar' machined that would clear the adjuster and connect rigidly to a clevis-style assembly. Anyone got any design ideas?

Cheers!

monoshock front end is ideal for a 3 wheeler!





You'd be surprised how quickly the sales people at B&Q try and assist you after ignoring you for the past 15 minutes when you try and start a chainsaw
