This is modeled after an old XS650. The wheelbase or engine position hasn't changed believe it or not.

The front is a variation of the "Duolever" or "Hossack" suspension, and the rear is a monoshocked swingarm.

The frame is also a cradle-style frame. The exhaust 'Y's into one pipe which exits above the rear tire.

As for now, it's the first draft of a fantasy bike, no math.

Very interesting! The front end looks to be a little long, or maybe change the bars to more of a cafe style.

I like the innovation, keep the pics coming:)

Looks interesting and definately keep on posting on this project.

Totally OT but I can see copyright James C. Harju on those pics. Harju is a finnish name so is there some connection here?
