Hanging off

[spamanglenn]

Interesting point about the tobin astro.I had a spare seat without the foam for future testing lying around so i fitted it and went for a ride.The bike steers better with the foamless seat.Like the vfr it feels like i can lean the rear tyre better from the seat(with weight transfer) rather than just steer the front.it definately turns better at low speed street intersections.Whether thats because theres more weight on the seat and less on the pegs or less weight on the bars,i don,t know yet.I get the impression the busa is way nose heavy and would probably low speed turn better 2 up.for my 2 girls i have a tandem long pram.When only the eldest (heaviest) is in the front and the youngest(lightest) is in the back it is quite hard to steer.When the order is reversed it is far easier to steer even though the total weight is the same.Putting lighter exhausts and subframes,swingarms on etc is great but it is pulling alot of the weight off the back of the bike,worsening (I believe )its front to rear weight bias.Perhaps i should lower the rear and see how it feels?or titanium engine bolt kit and kevlar tank thats about 7kg off the front i,m hoping. <i></i>
