anybody using 5 mounts with 562 velorex?
i have a zrx with double crable frame, however because of the configuration of the bikes frame i could max the lower rear mount 8 inches from the lower front mount..causing some flex at the rear upper mount.. without going subframe would it be better to add another sliding mount at the sidecar frame lower rear where the mount should be placed and attach the bikes mounting point higher than the front upper mounting point.this is the only area on the bikes frame where i could place the mount... i have 14 in. lead/ 1 1/2 inch toe in. thanks
I ad 5th mount on 79 Suzuki gs550/Velorex. No more flexing.
A fifth mount is used to make a less flexible mounting with some heavy bikes and also for the situation you are facing.
A five point mounting is also used on many 562 rigs used for training purposes since they get some pretty heavy usage (and abusage) at times
More rigid equals better handling.
