Apologies to anyone who' already seen this but................
If anyone actually buys one, please let me have a go with it, the worlds gone officially mad (IMHO), it's even got Ohlins fitted as standard

Surely it unsettles the bike, so the claims of it enabling sportier like cornering is complete twaddle? I dunno.. just arguing cos I havent got a duke to put one on...

Well I've seen 2 wheeled trailers behind bikes and they corner well enough, so I expect this it better.
Just think you can still filter with that on the back.

I don't really have an encyclopaedic knowledge of these things. Thought I'd seen something like this before so did a quick spot of Googling.
Quite honestly I was staggered as to how many I found!

It's in progress Dale.
A mate of mine has sourced some bearings for me - just need to pick them up now. Bought the various seals last Saturday and I'm part way through removing the lacquer/getting rid of the scratches before powder coating.
At this rate I'll have it done before we host the Olympics.

Top man,
I've been getting the bits together to do mine for about a year and a half now, but done bugger all with them yet.
