https://cyclesource.com/chopper-history-with-sugar-bear/That front end apparently handles like a feather. The rake and wheel base dictate how it handles obviously, mentally you can disconnect though, light as a feather, you flip the bars left and think you're on a GP bike with the effort only to have it remind you painfully that it is 18' long and weighs 3 tons.
But see Harleys have the neck ahead of the forks on some models, that one definitely looks so. The Savage is so freaking terrible in that aspect.
So that axe looking thing essentially lets the trail be 0 otherwise it will have like 9-12" if the wheel was fit right at the bottom of the forks.
Cool.
