of why my attempts at a custom S40 have looked less than satisfactory.
to wit: on the stock bike, the front axle centreline sits 13" above ground, while the rear axle sits 11.9" above ground, a rearward tilt of 1.1", exactly the opposite of what a good looking bike is.
Through changes in rim diameter and tire size, I will level out the axle centrelines, at which point I can decide how aggressive I want the stance to be, longer rear shock, or lowering the front with a RYCA top tree and pushing the fork tubes up.
At that point, I'll decide on a tracker, cafe or standard bike.
