[QUOTE="Idealist, post: 8078, member: 1495"] To take advantage of recent changes and improvements in the latest version of software, some more data is required, to help with analysis of Vincent suspension systems. This includes the weight on each wheel for a loaded Vincent TWIN [ solo, not sidecar outfit ], with bike at rest on a flat level surface , and the bike in normal road going condition. I am sure that several owners have in the past already taken their bikes to weigh-bridges to weigh them. Maybe the results have already been published somewhere - if so, please let me know where. What is needed is the weight on the front wheel and also the weight on the rear wheel, bike stationary, NOT on the stand, but the rider seated normally, just using his/her feet to keep the bike upright. Please state if petrol/gas tank full, if rider only or if it includes pillion passenger and / or luggage. The more loading conditions we have weights for, the better. It would be nice to have rider only and also rider/passenger/luggage as well. And please state the bike type Series A, B, C, D. [ Only 'standard' Vincent suspension bikes please - no NorVins, Eglis etc ]. [/QUOTE]
