Re: XV920 New suspension
The only caveat regarding the CBR setup is that the lower linkage anchor point will need to be pretty beefy since it;s taking all the force of the suspension. I will be fabricating my rear pivot section, likely welded from machined 7075 sections if I can manage the material costs this winter otherwise I'll use steel but will account for the additional strength required at that point.
I will be running 2-2 pipes, the rear will have to make a pretty decent turn right off the port probably to the right side where I'll run a short loop along the side and back under the carb and exiting with the muffler along side of the seat cowl or possibly routed under. I have a seat assembly and cowl from a Ducati 749 that I have been considering but I'm not totally sold. I like the idea of tucking either a pair of cans or one unitized "box" under the seat and I think if I make it myself I can keep the weight from being an issue up there. No room for anything under the sump unfortunately.
