I think you will struggle to find anyone who likes the girder front forks .. :sick:

café racer seat is nice though :thumbup:

Apparently the girder front end is only a fraction heavier than stock, also no dive under braking. I like the outside of the box idea and he said he is planning a much lighter design in the future (although more costly) so it's a :thumbup: from me!

The others are a bit pants though

It just reminds me of something you would design for an outfit. George and Mildred come to mind :lol: :lol:

If the Moto GP boys take it up then it's onto a good thing

BMW left that idea for sporty bikes. No change of geometry and no feel of what is front wheel doing, is nothing I would want on storm :-)
