Diagram needed

#1 Post by Aladinsaneuk » Fri Mar 04, 2011 7:21 pm

I know I have seen one somewhere... Am trying to explain to my dad the falco suspension system - I'd dog legs etc and how they work... He is used to the older British bikes... And thought that our rear shocks just went onto the top of the swingarm - when I said that we had dog bones and triangles he got quite intrigued - he is a time served mechanic and engineer...


Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

I'd highly recommend Tony Foale's book for all things suspension related, it's not cheap but will have all the information (and diagrams) you need.

There is also some very interesting reading on experiments he's done with 0° rake steering head angles and other things, although that's possibly a bit off topic!
