Fork of the "birdcage"

Norman Hossak, who developed the drive to the front wheel of his own design, as well as the two-stroke engine with a rectangular piston does not stop there.

This time the object of his improvement has front suspension Ducati 800. Norman decided that the frame of the "birdcage" perfectly complement the front fork of a similar design. No sooner said than done. The advantage of the plug from the front Hossaka classic telescopic fork - the gain in weight, it is easier to design for 3 pounds. And just after the re-bike "lost" for 12 pounds.

The principle of the suspension - the lever. The arms are made of steel tube of 25 mm diameter and connected to the frame by a hinge. As used monoshock damping element. The total weight of the system - about 3 pounds, but calculations show that the plug can be facilitated Hossaka another 600 grams without sacrificing strength. The angle increased from 26 to 30 degrees, and the steering wheel was raised at 4 centimeters, but that's a personal preference of the inventor - he rides on the bike to work every day. Great job!
