well have not even tried the xv yet to see how she performs with this diffrent swingarm, so will hope fully get a bit of a blast today to see if she runs true have made up a spare swingarm to the original design witch i know works just in case...... always a bit apprehensive when makeing changes how ever slight

Took the xv for a short spin yesterday only got it up to second gear and have to admit it felt slightly twitchy on the front end..... it was slight so took it up the road three times at the moment the xv has aftermarket forward controls witch are very forward and not what I'm use to I'm having to stretch causing me to have to shift my body weight slightly to change gear its at this point when changing gear it twitches I'm putting it down to the bend at the front of the swingarm witch i put in for the first time to try to clear the xv exhaust system,because of the bend the rose joints are allowing the frame to over lean,they really need to be parallel with the outer main rails of the frame as in my original design to reduce that movement, i did have my doubt about this when the trike was stood still when moving the bars from side to side and watching the back wheels they were not as positive to follow the front round as with the original frames iv made, also when rocking the frame of the bike from side to side it was not as solid, all so i have not sat the back end down quite as much as usual need the weight of the engine leaning slightly towards the back and not the front end...... got this one wrong I'm afraid...... lesson learned if you have something that works dont change it.....ansewer i was prepaired for any probs because of the change to this frame so will now be fitting my original design frame |

Well, Zak,unless you try these thing's you never know, you now have learnt something new that you wont do the same again,which is better than always thinking what if.Still, with you at the helm it will still turn out right

As said mate, if you don't try new ideas, you don't move forward. Not a failure though, just more useful design info. So, back on the road by tomorrow then?  |
