These pics are great. You put me in a rabbit hole the other day learning about Hossack suspensions. Today looking at the LBS site to learn more. Biting my tongue on technical questions though. Thanks.

 

Chris, believe me when I say, you are miles ahead of many of the fabricators I have seen. And, if you are ever in the Eugene, Oregon area, which is 463 miles from your front door to Chucks' front door (yes, I mapped it out), then Chuck would love to get a visit from you, and spend some time talking to you about what he does. Let me know in advance, and I will be there to buy lunch for all of us...as I am only 222 miles north of Chuck.

As for the Honda use of the Hossack front forks for their 2018+ Goldwings, here is an example of the stock width front end (silver) vs the WIDE front end like on my Wing (black)

The OEM stock width on the Wings has a 130mm wide front tire, but mine has the WIDE front end, with a 180mm wide front tire.

Thank you, that would be enjoyable, although personal matters dictate that I remain very close to home for the foreseeable future, (not an ankle monitor) maybe someday.

I can be a bit annoying in those situations though. When I was competing in easyriders shows, I got into a conversation with Bill Holland once (he worked with John Harmon). I started talking about frame geometry or something, when the poor guy just wanted to man his booth and find customers. Pretty sure my Wife elbowed me in the ribs, so I let him go. The next year I think he saw me coming and started looking for an exit. Remembering the elbow, I just waved this time, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

The Leading Link Master Builder in the US has sent me more pictures, with a twist, he is trying something new to additional secure the LL downtubes  to the lower triple tree.
