Lots Going On
A lot of things are coming together right now.
Gary & I (mainly Gary) have been working on "polishing" the handling of the F7. We changed the rear shock, adjusted camber & toe in the front end, and lowered tire pressure all around. All these adjustments were to reduce transitional over steer. The machine corners like a slot car; we felt these changes were necessary to tame the machine down a little. Everything seems to be working very well. As we are learning, the rear chain is long enough to require some sort of management devices (idlers, guides).
The second generation front end design is complete. The new front end will allow easy adjustment of caster, camber & toe. We will be using bigger motorcycle brakes and tapered roller bearings as well. The rear end for the touring will be drive shaft driven, stay tuned for details.
Mark has our website up though we need to figure out how to get it formatted better.
Gary had the bike at last Tuesday's Bike Night in Lowell, see link for vid.
