Jason Omar of Sodium Distortion used his own version of an Earles leading link suspension on his rear engined A class Buell.  Jason has been very helpful in the past.  You can find his email address if you google "sodium distortion super rat".

The rake & trail setup with a leading link front end is no different to any other , everyone has their favorite combo.
The ease of trail adjustment & the way the wheel "hops" over bumps with little wheelbase change is an advantage, in my eyes anyway.

I would prefer to make horsepower, rather than buy, or hya it, regardless of the difficulties involved , as it would then be MINE
