[QUOTE=cotswold;Not sure I would go this way[/QUOTE]

It's one for Rob to think about - How are you going to get the length of a CVT plus a reasonable length swingarm ?

Have to admit, Armoured trousers would be a bonus.....

Interestingly Chambers is actively building a CVT hybrid. He is grafting his old GP100 engine onto a set of GY6 4T CVT cases to power his side car. The last time the 100 ran it was 22hp hopefully we can increase that a bit.

I seen a pic of these they gave decent dampening in the 60's

I had seen the Hornet many times and never noticed.
DMW made Metal profiles forks (or vise versa) used by many British lightweights but as far as i know only DMW used these forks.

some odd balls

[husaberg]

never seen one totally similar in concept....... although the Early RC125 and so forth had a cunning play on the twin shock with rockers but mounted conventionally the funny home made Maico engined thingy-maybobs had one similar to the honda as well i can't remember what they were called?

Tis was the Kramer........

[husaberg]

never took much notice of this before.......
Panigale

Yeah all very cool & all, but not much use on an NF4 sadly. so small that anything tricky added on would still find a frame bearer in the way.

Unless you went inside it? The inner side rather than the inside of course..........
I finally got arround to mock fitting the NSR125 engine to the NF4 the other week and although it fits without to much carb shock drama, it needs bloody engine plates which look half arse.I had a closer look at a pic i had posted of a NSR150/NF4 and i see that's what they did as well.
I think it would slip beautifully into a NX4. They aren't exactly falling out of trees though........

There is plenty of NX4's , just the price is the problem

True but if there was more of them they would be cheaper.......... before Bert chimes in. Yes there is another option.
Has anyone ridden an NF4 and NX4 back to back, do the NX4's actually handle any better.........I know they have racier steering geometry and hopefully more sophisticated suspension, but does it actually handle any better?

Just plates. Its a bucket. it will never get finished if it is engineering excellence. Function before form as well.

Form follows function (ok maybe mostly fashion as well.)
It is a F4 and is an almostly Honda Dave. It has to look right.

I do kind of realise it won't ever be as pretty a Cagiva or Bimota.

[F5 Dave]

And it will win no races in the garage.

Ouch...

Well maybe Regs and or Scotty can add some detailed handling feedback. Having raced back to back both versions...

You have everything you need so get on with it.
