I'm not sure if that would work. It would put a lot more weight on the back side of the pivot. I would think this would increase the tendency of the rear to heavily squat under power.

that i think you could fix with a good rear shock/spring at an appropriate angle for the job. Im more worried about moving the fulcrum forward of the cg and what that would do to stability.

you'd also have to some how allow for the movement of the swing arm around the motor... and I'd think foot controls would get in the way.

point. When i originally thought about it it was along the lines of a big liquid cooled twin. I suppose you could mount the foot controls pillion style with foot guards

true... but either you'd have to have a severely stiff shock or really high foot pegs... cause when it did squat.. good chance you'd end up with your feet on the ground

also... you'd have to worry about the oil pan bashing the ground on heavy bumps... as it'd drop down with a compressed shock...

be an interesting design to see though... deff out of the box.

we'll just put velcro on the oil pan so you can toss your fav slider on there
