Different/unusual chassis

[Mental Trousers]

James Parker designed a bunch of forkless bikes and his designs formed the basis of the Yamaha GTS1000. The last thing I've been able to find of his is the GSX-RADD, a much improved GSXR. He was going to offer conversion kits for popular litre bikes but there's been nothing heard from him since this write up.

I'm a big fan of the GTS1000 and the Tesi Series of bikes. I like my front end on my BNW. Brilliant front end and better than conventional forks

There are a surprising number of people who would count the GTS1000 as one of the coolest bikes ever.

It's a shame the big bike companies haven't been producing a lot more bikes with forkless front ends. The ones that have been mass produced have had financial and legal considerations playing far too much of a role in their design and have ended up dumbed down and over engineered.

Does it dip in the front under brakes when pulling up to a stop?
The R1200gs doesn't unless you use rear brake only.
Using front/rear to stop, the bike pulls up very rigidly & can make you look like an amateur as you go to put your foot on the ground, the ground is further away than expected & the bike doesn't rise up after its stopped like telescopics, which you don't notice until you ride a bike that doesn't do it.

Very similar. Main difference is the rake changes under speed. Can feel a but vague when going really slow due to the disconnection between the bars and the solid forks

The Brittens girders had dive properties dialled into it, as it feels alien without it.
Dive is good as long as it doesn't use all the suspension travel.
A lot of leading links used raise under braking.

Does this count as unusual- LOL, I ran out of money to have the chassis re painted the way I wanted it to be

mix milo with pva glue and spread it on with a knife, or even better; a cheese grater, that'll give it a textured look like no other bike.

Most likely a load of shit but wouldn't it be a wonderful thing?

The race version of this is my Lotto bike. The 600cc Moto2 hub centre steer from Vyrus.

Honda used Hub steer with the elf bikes and a Ribi front end in MX so anythings possible.
Hossacks patents if he had them sewn up must be due to expire soon.
