If anyone is into technical manuals ( in addition to myself ) Search Google books for free: “Motorcycle handling and chassis design: the art and science By Tony Foale” …I was going to make a comment on floating rear brake designs in another thread, but this book covers that subject in depth along with so much more on suspension, frames and center of gravity. Great illustrations and it’s very current too!
I tool a quick look and was overwhelmed by the amount of good technical info in that book – it’s a treasure trove of engineering data, available to everyone! It’s incredible how much engineering is involved behind the scene in everyday life, large unnoticed by the average person. I can see having a deeper understanding of the technical aspects of bike design gives a dedicated rider more insight in the fine art of riding.
