Hi
The bike haldles very easy,and with good response from the front wheel.
Shock length is 37,3 mm.We extended the groove in the rear swingarm to get a wheel base of around 144 cm-145 cm.We use a reinforced clamping for the rear axle to compensate the longer groove.
chain wear on the swingarm is not a problem.we use 15 teeth on front sprocket,38-40 rear.the slider is useful,and it lasts relatively long.
My son is doing the machinig of the parts we need.His profession is called "Industrial Mechanic,education 3,5 Years in Germany.He is a KTM offroad guy
.But he likes the Ducati.
