Very well, indeed! I asked a friend for comparison a month ago, but he did not come, so far. I am heading for
190kgs, but not by using upsidedown forks, cast wheels and modern disk brakes. Don´t forget, that the wideline frame is registered for 2up plus sidecar use. What about steering damper on yr Egli? My friend has
one and does not want his Egli be without.
My home made Egli Replica weighed in at 430Lbs with an estimated 7 or 8 Litres of fuel. I have not been able to induce any instability or head shake, even at 100 MPH with a pack rack on. The steering head angle is a degree or 2 steeper than what is reputedly regarded as "standard" It is fitted with 38mm Marzocchi forks from a 650 Benelli Tornado, shortened up by 40mm. It also has the Benelli multiplate steering damper fitted for looks, the plates are tight enough to not rattle, loose enough to not feel any friction.
