I would guess if you can land seat in front then it could do drops as long as the hub is strong. Neat idea though! There was a thread somewhere about this sort of thing when the cannondale lefty came out and it’s cool to see that it has been done for uni as well.
This is excellent, May I copy this with a Lefty suspension fork? I love the concept.
Ineed, and not only one!
- Lefty Muni (german), last post shows, that it had already been realized.
- Adapting a lefty shock to a unicycle? (more on suspension)
- Cannondale uni
There were some more mentions, but nothing serious.
No problem. You owe me a beer.
Seems a lot of work to me to adapt a lefty.
Sure looks cool 
could you put a small brace on the first 90’ bend to give it some strength
Yes, but this ist the first post showing somebody riding a “lefty uni”.
Being serious is debatable.

That would have to be welded on. I cant’t weld (yet). Learned it in school more than 30 years ago but this doesn’t count. The thing is held togehther by loctite.
The bend is possibly not the weakest and not the most stressed point. The arc is machined from solid aluminium.
“You only have one fork!”
It’s no fork anymore - maybe a skewer.

It’s not finish but it’s not so heavy like my second 36". I don’t know how it feels but I think still good.

looking at that picture, (nice by the way) I’m guessing there is no way to adjust your seat height. so is it like one size fits all.
The Nightfox has telescoping legs - it’s a clever way to eliminate the seatpost and make a little more clearance for shorter riders. You can see the bolt that clamps the leg in place, at the bottom of the green part.

Now that is slick.
That’s 150mm KH Dual Spirits cranks. I know it’s long for a 36" but you can change it of 127 mm . The Seat hight isn’t get Finnish of the final hight to ride the 36", there’s no seat and you can’t break with it but both are coming soon and then can ride the second big wheel.
Not at all, 150 is a great length for riding a 36er. There are some on here who would shoot me for saying that, but let’s just say that Edd Pratt rode around the world on KH 150/125 cranks and in many of his videos was using the 150mm holes.

Unigeezer also uses 150mm cranks for 36er muni.
I guess it’s time for a family photo.
They are set up from left to right, by crank length:
-
20” Torker LX, 115mm cranks
-
20” Club 20”, 115mm cranks

This unicycle started life as a Muni with a Duro Leopard 24x2.6 tire, but switched to the soft and cushy CST Cyclops once the Koxx Track Monster was added to the roster.

I might do a review some day. So far I like the Bontrager XR4 29x3.0. It seems it’s well constructed and rides nicely on low pressure. Pumped it to ~20 psi and started riding and was quite surprised that it does not feel bouncy at such low pressure. I’m used to riding at ~30 psi on my other Munis. The XR4 has a pretty aggressive thread and it seems to match nicely with the wet autumn in Denmark where some of the trails are becoming muddy. However it also rumbles quite a bit when on asphalt. But it’s not really designed for that either.
After the winter I may try a XR2 or a WTB Ranger in the same dimensions. They are more tailored towards dry conditions but I assume they will also be more quiet and smoother on asphalt.
So far I have been switching between the 27.5" and the 36" for every ride. For the last rides I have exclusively been using the 29" to get used to it but I think I will start to switch between the 29" and the 36". Right now I don’t think the 27.5" will get used much but time will tell. I have a new 27.5x3.0 tire on the way so in ~2 weeks I will modify it a bit to make it more interesting I hope 
The 29" with the wide soft tire really excels in the current autumn conditions and it’s a joy to ride. Today I for the first time managed to do my “regular” 7km loop without a single UPD on the 29" and there are some fairly challenging sections (for me).
And the mini t-bar also has this nice (protected) spot for the Garmin… (but of course that has nothing to do with the size of the Muni :)).
