Take it to a dealer who is familiar with trikes. You're on somewhat of a rare breed and not a lot of experience with them.

No dealer for 200 miles. I’m gonna try to loosen up the front end cycle it and see where it goes. I found a guy with a complete M50 front end it’s just a bit outta my price range with cross country shipping

If those steering bearings have any sort of a notch in them that is definitely a problem to get fixed. Take care of that first and see what happens. Do you think the right side wheel is braking harder than the left side causing it to want to turn right? How old are the brakes? Pads? How many miles? Maybe an air bubble in one side and not the other? How old is the brake fluid? Have you done any service recently?

Front brake is new, rear brakes appear to be hitting it equally. Steering head bearings were clicking , I pulled the triple tree and greased the top bearing. No more clicking but still has the pull I think roller bearing replacement needs to happen fairly soon. Thanks for the response. Regards Killswitch

What type of brakes did they put on the trike? Are they mechanical or did they somehow fit hydraulic? Mechanical would mean one brake is grabbing harder than the other. Hydraulic could mean you have air in the lines causing it to pull to one side. I doubt triple tree bearings are causing the issue.

Hey Sorapiron I think your right o tried a hard stop front brake only and no pull. So after the oil change and new clutch gonna get those rear brakes adjusted. Stay tuned for results sports fans. Lol
