No, No. Go to Rant and rave, sub forum Tech talk.
This is the blogs section... you want to be going to the general forum.
well back together to a degree and thanks to few good buys on TM. must admit doesnt look like a super magna anymore .
Goodness, gracious me, what a shocker.... Post or situation, your call.
this has four bolts to undo till forward and ride bike off. I suppose it would be alright for trips throw a mesh on it so can put bags and maybe tent for camping . but its my first try at this type of idea and wanted to know how they feel and work before spending anymore time on it . the thing is i,d like to design it to feel lighter and with three wheel steer as it does fight with rear wheel in the middle . lean and steer system sounds simple !!!!!!! . safe riding guys .
Add luggage to it and make it easily detachable and you've got an excellent vehicle for travelling.
Looks like a good idea, Ya could probably get the welds xray'd to prove their sound???
aahaumm yes
pic,s under settings i found part way down on left column and no probs on novel as any info or points are taken in as job on going concern thanks .one thing i found is slave cylinders need to be lower than master .thanks again .i mig weild every day at work so having to tig sucked.
