Title: cx 500 , need a measurement?
Post by: kapri on June 09, 2015, 09:59:28 PM
Can anyone give me a measurement from the top triple tree in a straightline  down to the  point of contact of tyre with the ground. A ground clearance measurement under the engine would be handy as well please.

Right. I've taken the measurements from my cx trike.

From top of upper yoke to tyre/ground contact, basically straight down the line of the forks, is 1050mm

Engine clearance is 200mm but if you include the exhaust pipe which on mine runs under the engine then clearance is down to 150mm

Hope this helps
