Count me in it looks great i have been looking at the different one out there but 300-400 dollars .......let us know when u r selling them i want one for sure and maybe a couple of my buddies........

 

May I copy your idea and design? You could draw up some plans and templets to sell us all as a do-it-youself kit.

Great job by the way

 

Nice job !!!
Something these beasts seem to need. Maybe the new frame is the fix. Time will tell.

 

I have had a lot of interest in templates and plans. I am considering getting started on this. Thanks guys!

Aaron: I tried to PM ya. Don't know if I did or not. Not very computer savy. Anyway regarding your PM to me, that would work for me. Keep me informed. Thanks. Will2002

 

I would be curious if it could be made to be compatible with a center stand. Doesn't the WheelDock mount in the wishbone area?

But wait....the engine is rubber mounted. It is isolated from the frame and it is supposed to move freely on those mounts. This device, like all of them, just provides a rigid mount of engine to frame and bypasses the rubber mount. It has to transfer stresses to the frame that it is not designed for. Might not be a problem, but it might be a BIG problem. I have noticed the loose rear end but I consider it "character" and it can be resolved by backing off the throttle in the turn and transferring the weight back to the front end. A riding style adjustment is safer, IMO, than totally altering the engine/frame interface. Still, I am a firm believer in the American Garage Mechanics ability to solve any and all trasnportation-related issues and good on you for making something that you like.

 

if you go the plans and template route let me know. if i ever take off my center stand i would use 1 of these

 

Got your PM will2002! Thanks.

That I don't know! I don't have one.

Thanks Blueflht! I'll keep you guys posted.

I don't see where it is an issue. As with any of the other units already out there, they don't replace anything that is already on the motorcycle ( like the swing arm ), these units are simply an add-on. There can't be that much of a load to transfer.
