Not everyone. I offer inverted forks in two different types. Steering stem in front of fork tubes with 26 degree steering stem rake & 3.5 degrees which will yield 6.8" of trail. Changing trail is a combination of the distance between the steering stem and fork line. It can be adjusted by moving the steering stem in relation with the neck.

This is a 26 degree neck with steering stem behind the forks. Adjusting the distance from the steering stem to the forks adjust the trail. These are 4" of trail with no steering stem rake. Still under construction but still have the worked over crate 124" S&S which I am debating on an Airocharger because a naturally aspirated 124 CI will just not put out enough power unless you wish to be in a parade.

It has a 6 speed Spike and my C/F wheels w/radial 9#+ tires (each) ready to go on. I have composite fenders because steel is just too heavy. I will make an aluminum swing arm just like my FXR has which weighs in at 13.5 pounds. The 7 gal fuel tank weighs a lot but not near as much as pushing the bike. I use 30mm Ohlins cartridges in all of my bikes except the hard tail. Again, once the parts are on the bike than it is all BS. Finding the time to build the bike is also another thing.

I make my own axle clamps for my Ohlins forks so they need no rotor adapters and the inverted forks now come with 30mm Ohlins cartridges. I also like the fact or radial calipers to stop quickly just in case. Again it is all BS until it is completed and excuses why things do not come out the way you or I stated is also BS. I am hoping for at least 120 HP with the huffer. I watch all of these absurd Dyno claims than put the very same bike on another Dyno where the owner has no interest in stroking your ego and the HP results may be different. I have not completed what I want to do on this build but this is my progress.


Above is developing the triple trees so the RK Nacelle will fit. PS: I will not have a radio because it weighs too much.

 

Suede
I knew once you rode one it would want you too!

 

I will find out, tomorrow!

Yeah, I guess I could always snag a leftover, and stuff a monster TC into it.

 

It was smooth, I didn't expect it to be that smooth, hmm, smooooootttthhhhhhh!
I don't blame you a bit for getting the RG as another bike

For sure, got me thinking now, wondering how many kidneys my wife has

 

Just be careful, I've heard the M8 is experiencing some growing pains. Check service issues. I don't like first model year anything.

 

that is true let them get out all the defects first, Seen this many times over the last 20 years as a GM tech.

 

Hahaha Howard. Look forward to your performance bagger. You've got some cool stuff going on it.
