    Well, I've drawm something on a post-it that might be feasible. Basically where the steering tube is, you would take the current handle bar off the top and fit a stub with a gear ring on it. You would then weld on another tube just in front of the existing steering tube. Add another gear ring to the handlebar and put the handlebar stem in the extra tube (with bearings etc sorted out) such that the gears lined up. Then, all going well, when you turned the handlebar to the right, the wheel would turn to the left and vice versa. For safety's sake you'd have to make sure neither bit fell out obviously :-)

    All the best.

    Have a look on wikipedia for "Countersteering", - here you go: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Countersteering

    I think it's all explained there.
