[QUOTE="rapcom, post: 8495, member: 191"] [b]Movement of speedo (or not)[/b] John, I've never said it gets further away, just that I notice the bike going UP when I brake hard. Presumably the bit I notice, the steering damper knob, is rotating along an arc centred on the forward spindle of the top link, which is where the speedo is mounted, but whether the distance between the riders eye and the speedo actually decreases would require some good maths to work out. Then of course it would depend on the height and build of the rider, and whether he slid forward under the influence of the heavy braking. Perhaps the coefficient of friction of the seat cover would need to be accounted for? I think I'll go and lie down now..... [/QUOTE]
