Designing the Ultimate High Tech Front End Components.
In the first article on the most magnificent ARCH driveline, I mentioned Gard Hollinger’s motorcycle mantra, his two-wheeled mission, once he became the keeper of the ARCH. It’s one thing to build the coolest one-off custom motorcycle on the planet, if that’s even possible, but turn it into a world class production motorcycle, and now you’re talkin’ a whole new level of creative synergy, regulations, management, manufacturing, marketing, you name it.
In this chapter, we will discuss only the front end components, including this short list: handling, rake, frame geometry, front fender construction, front brakes, headlight, cowling materials, carbon fiber manufacturing, wiring, electronics, gauges, handlebars, risers, levers, throttle, front axle, axle spacer design, front wheel manufacturing, and what the hell did I forget?
