Over the past couple months I've had the pleasure to help develop and iterate this bike. 3 swingarms, 3 subframes, 2 forks & leading links, 2 seats, and a few different shock lengths to get to this point. It's going on a 1000 mile journey this weekend to check suspension geometry and highway cruising behavior. Hopefully only a few small tweaks if any afterwards other than cosmetics.

You should take it out to Purdue this Saturday, they're flying an A-10 warthog and P-51

Looks good, nice rake. Why such a small tank though?

I love a FFE, I see plenty of pro-dive, do the brakes top it out really hard?
