Tony Foale
18 Nov 2010 14:56
Evening folks.Just wanted to let the forum know that I am now the proud owner of a slightly used 2nd Edition of Tony Foales book on designing motorcycle suspensions. I will be giving myself a tutorial on Mr.Foales work over the next several weeks, hopefully so I can do an intelligent job on swapping the forks on Bad Company.. If anyone needs anything out of the book,please let me know and I will get it to u (it even has pictures for dummies like me).Have a good evening.bj

Excellent information BJ. Where did you get it? The last time I visited his website it seems he was quite proud of his work. IIRC he wanted $100 for his book. He definitely tried some unconventional stuff on his designs.

It was Foals work and writing that led me to install the front "X" brace in my frame
And Craid is right, I still have both his Cameron books AND his Z1 tail. Marina is still wearing that GP T-shirt....

Pardon my ignorance who is this you speak of ? 
I would like to do some light reading is there a way I can look it up online?
I have a kz 700 wanted to put invert forks and mono the rear would love to have a good understanding of frame brace tech to rely on.
Thanks !
