I am building a Batpod from scratch and it's been going pretty good so far. The part I'm stuck on right now is the steering.
Is it just like a conventional bike, or does it have something similar to the steering in the front wheels of the Tumbler?
Right now I'm assuming it is similar to Tumbler-steering. So my next problem is mounting guns to the wheel wells. My goal is to have dual paintball guns that are fully functional. If it is Tumbler-steering, then it messes up my whole scheme for aiming the guns.
Any help would be great, thanks!

Yep pix are a requirement around here.  The steering looks pretty basic. At first glance it appears that the steering work more like a car then a motorcycle. It looks as if the handlebars actually work like a car's steering wheel. You can see the round shaft on the side of the front wheel has a inner rod that is connected to a tie-rod type device. Looks like in most of the photos that leaning to turn or going straight is the most practical thing to do.... There is also an incorporated swivel point for the front suspension that is connected to a coil over shock. Just a guess from a very quick look at the pix....
