Geometry only....not near as scary as the other math....
However if you want factory floppy go find a 1987ish Intruder 1400 with the short drag bars. there is a reason Suzuki only sold those bars on that bike for 1 or 2 years........Think of your bike with twice the weight trying to flop one side or the other...

The one and only savage with factory fitted drag bars is what I tried this experiment on and ... yes I seriously regret it. It is pitifully short leverage. And cant take wider bars, the factory gave too short cables and wires for it to take wider bars.
Today I may swap it to the 2000 and got to the stock suspension for this one.
Cool.

Oh well one more D-oh moment ... If I flip the legs so the left brake disc is on the right and the caliper is leading instead of trailing - the axle will be now trailing. That being near 45 degree rakewill move the contact patch back ~2-2.5 inches as well as move the stem line forward a few inches by adding to the rake sorta. That should put the trail in nice positive territory.
I have to attempt this tonight ... I'll keep y'all posted.
Cool.
Srinath.
