norton guy.
i agree with some of what you say.
i agree that the best frame for that engine was the one it came in originally.
the wideline has long unsupported areas
be ready for the frame to break?. an iteresting statement! Based on what exactly?????
this is not the first frame in the 45 years we have been making frames that engines other than brit twins and singles have found homes in them.
this is an odd forum for you to be on isn't it?
there are bikes on here that have clip on style handle bars. which by design take away some ease of control plus your visibility is reduced as your head is lower.
aluminium tanks which have sticky up caps, very nasty for the meat and two veg those can be in an accident.
pressed steel frames used on bikes which are then fitted with 21st century front braking systems. that can be a bad combo.
so why are these foolish people doing these things?
could it be that they want something a little different something individual.
Do you also frequent Harley Davidson forums and tell them that as standard thier bikes have poor frame geometry, and are badly underbraked?
you only see the results of weeks of work. You were not privy to weeks of going over drawings, stress analyist, discussions with the customer, prior to a tube being bent.
i'm sure on a race track a standard falco would show it nothing but it's ass end.
the desire on here and many forums like this one is to have something that they can call thiers, not something standard that when parked up in a bike park, were you have to go looking at the reg plate number to find yours.
everyone to thier own. like what they have built or hate it, respect the desire they have to be a little different.
and not come out with "prepare for the frame to break" in 45 years people have managed to bend our frames, but not break them.
