    looks can be decieving read a rather indepth report by some guy , will find later and repost a name, about the nature of anti dive forks etc and the measures that people have gone through to attain a neutral braking, rather than diving.

    In fact he goes on to say that you can design it to even lift when applying the brakes, but many people got unnerved by that feeling. It all has to do with lengths and geometries and number of linkages and where you place "Virtual" pivots!!!

    Just the front brake would do, the 8 inch rotor, with 4 pot hydrualic caliper, maybe the carbon fibre swingarm too, i got to start riding it more so i can lose some weight .
    And train to break the 3km mark (thats 3km doing a wheelie, shit i ain't that unfit people) still 400m short of that.
    GSXR wiping the shit that is that Honda, Yamaha and Kawasaki off the road since '85'

    Actually what my post said was, if you want to have the longer travel shocks it'll be harder to wheelie! If you have no suspension at all, ofcourse it is easier to wheelie it.

    You'll want good forks and rear shock as well, once you start pulling big airs and start doing crazy drops off cliffs...

    Looks like a bicycle version of a springer. When are you peaple gonna learn, when you make a bicycle look like a motorbike it's just plain ridiculas!! Looks silly and adds heaps of wieght that you then have to push up hill on your own power. I'll stick with an engine thank you.
