Consider 3 identical wheels up front.
1> All axles at the same height.
Performance about that of a 2F1R non-tilter?
2> Raise the outer wheels 2 inches.
On the straight, a 2 wheeler.
On a turn a leaner?
What advantages/disadvantages occur?

Extra weight.Outrigger wheels up front would need some provision to turn, either
steered or even just "caster wheels".Outrigger wheels near the rear wheel could be fixed straight, but one
might have visibility/hangup issues with them, passing near vertical
objects.
