The fork is actually single-sided. It's just a rendering, though, so I'm not sure that everything on it will make geometric or mechanical sense. Glossy and cool to look at though.

There was some discussion a while back regarding what happens to the swing arm when you give it all the throttle - whether the rear end stands up, squats, or remains fairly neutral. Keith Code says the suspension is going to want to decompress on throttle application with some of that offset by the weight transfer rearward, something about where the axle is located in relation to the front sprocket/pulley IIRC (does anybody have that link?). Assuming I am remembering that properly, does the same thing happen on a bike like this, that's slammed so low that the axle sits ABOVE the front sprocket/pulley? I am not a great motorcycle technician, let alone any sort of engineer so I am particularly clueless here, but curious.

The impact of the throttle on suspension is driven by chain tension. Geometry of the drive chain determines whether the rear end stands up or squats down. That bike would have the same reaction as any other. That bike Hayden posted would react the same way.  quote:The rear wheel Fy tries to make the swing arm go down in the rear. The ground prevents this motion. The opposite vertical force at the front sprocket Fy1 tends to lift the frame, which unloads the rear shock spring. By applying 100 lbs of lifting force directly to the frame, the rear spring is relieved of 100 of the total 400 lbs of rider and bike weight. This causes the bike to rise.

That bike would have the same reaction as any other. This is, by far, the best explanation of this effect, ever. It shows, with pictures, why what you think should happen doesn't happen.

Vinyl trawling like I always do 'bout this time, and what do I find but a bunch of leather clad rockers playing the home edition of Wheel of Fortune in front of a Long Island school circa 1987. Creepy? Affirmative.

Went to Backfire and didn't think I needed my good camera. Boy was I wrong. One of those 2-wheel drive dual sports.    No loving clue what this is.  Ridiculous stock exhaust on a Moto Guzzi.   Sadly washed out because of my lovely phone camera.

Son of a bitch. This was the first Backfire I went to where I didn't actually wander the bikes at all, and it looks like I chose loving poorly. I just spent the whole time in Hilliard's with my fellow scooter nerds.

Haha, I spent about a half hour there drinking beer, bullshitting with the brewers and waiting for more bikes to show up. Their dopplebock's pretty drat good(and pretty potent as well), I'll have to pick up a growler and a couple of their awesome glasses next time I'm over in Ballard.
