The book "Ghost Rider" by Neil Peart (who is Canadian) may be of interest to you. It is the story of his motorcycle tour around North America. <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghost_Rider:_Travels_on_the_Healing_Road> -- TJH tjhiggin.at.hiwaay.dot.net

Any qualified motojournalist worth his salary knows why > rearsets are set to the rear. Simple question, for your simple mind. Bolt the rearseats onto the rear wheel spindle. That's about as far back as it gets. Does that result in improved ground clearance for the pegs? You need to mount the pegs *higher* if they're not to ground, not further back. Although higher *and* further back is usually good. -- BMW K1100LT Ducati 750SS Triumph Street Triple Honda CB400F Suzuki TS250 Suzuki GN250 chateaudotmurrayatidnetdotcom Nothing damages a machine more than an ignoramus with a manual, a can-do attitude and a set of cheap tools |
