a feet first recumbent bike based on a kawasaki ER6
Thursday, 2 April 2009
Tractor seat
Hand beaten from S1C front nose is a suspension linkage from an R1 so i could use the needle roller bearing, good quality mountain bike shock underneith, adjustable fro rebound on the fly so you could set it from very bounce right through to 'pump down' at which pont you found out just how well it had been suspending you! (ouch)
Here iam documenting the design and build of Feet First motorcycle dont know what that is? find out here I am useing a Kawasaki ER6 engine mainly because of its very compact dimensions , an important consideration for this layout. I am planing to make a trellis style frame in steel along with a Hossack front end, the body work will be in aluminum and a fairing in carbon fiber. This may all change as the design progresses. I am also attempting to cast my own front wheel design, this is also coverd here.
