Aussie Annie Posted June 24, 2009 Share #1 Posted June 24, 2009 Thought I would show you a couple of pics of the RSV with the Wedgetail Outrider (Voyager) on now. Still have to come up with an idea to carry the elbow crutches and to alter the seat and floorboards, but after waiting so long, a bit more won't hurt. Will post pics of completed rig when done.

pegscraper Posted June 27, 2009 Share #4 Posted June 27, 2009 What kind of a front end set up is that? I see extra springs and brackets. What is the point of it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still have to come up with an idea to carry the elbow crutches Old style military motorcycles had a scabbard, much like the cowboys in the old west (and probably Australia also), had on their horses. Seems like something like that would work. Actually as I think of it, the Iraqi army had some Kawasaki bikes set up for their scouts that had a plastic "bucket" for that purpose. Wish I had taken photos of it but I didn't. Anyway it is a sweet looking ride. Hope you get many miles on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TATERS Posted June 30, 2009 Share #7 Posted June 30, 2009 She's a BEAUTY..... Annie, are you the driver of this lovely piece of machinery...or a passenger? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussie Annie Posted June 30, 2009 Author Share #8 Posted June 30, 2009 It's a leading link suspension. Moves centre of axle forward from factory forks, there is some rake angle change, thus making it easier to turn. Like having power steering Recommended for sidecars, and I decided to leave it on for the outrider after talking to an engineer. cheers Annie What kind of a front end set up is that?

Aussie Annie Posted June 30, 2009 Author Share #9 Posted June 30, 2009 Hi Taters, She's mine, all mine!!:dancefool:Hard to remember that I used to ride "Big Blue" solo. Wouldn't get it off the side stand now (since accident) The bike seats will both by altered so that I can ride and pillion, if I want--as I can't get on any other bikle now because of the stiff leg.

PBJ Posted July 3, 2009 Share #10 Posted July 3, 2009 Annie fine looking bike . I also admire the incredible determination to stay on a bike no matter what. I love the leading link fork. I read about the company in England that makes them there when I was setting up my sidecar rig. My old XS1100 has a leading axle which is not quite as nice as your leading link but sure does help make the steering easier. Also i just want to thank you for the prayers and good wishes sent to my Partner Rawhide. Its greatly appreciated. I've been off site a lot recently and if you're new here let me send along my warmest welcomes to Venture Riders. As I'm sure you know well by now there are a lot of great people on site here. makes you glad to be a member Oh , heres a suggestion for your crutches. They make rifle holders for ATV and that attach to saddles . I know Australia still has plenty of ranchers and herders that use horses. Tack shops or sporting catalogs may carry leather of plastic rifle holders that you might be able to adapt to carry your crutches. Hope its an idea that might work. Phil.

Great looking ride Annie..... Depending on where you want your crutches to ride,you might be able to adapt a clamp that would be a quick release....Something along the lines of a van roof top clamp that holds a ladder in place....It would be more work then the scabbard or the plastic rifle holder..A good leather guy should be able to fix ya right up... We have the technology,it can be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have the technology,it can be done. Thanks for the clamp idea-it's a good one Only thing is I don't think we can get them here?? Where would I possibly get a pic of one?? I am going to mount the holder/clamps between the panniers and the fenders (down low so that the lids will open) Unfortunately the budget doesn't run to leather, maybe further down the track when finances are better? We are going to use PVC pipe (painted black) if we can't get any suitable clamps, and attach with brackets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I came up with these.After I reviewed the big van rooftop ladder clamps,I don't think that they are feasible,even cut down..I was just thinking of trying to adapt that type of quick release clamp... If you could send me a pic of where you want your crutches mounted on your bike,that would help alot in the design process....I have a couple of more idea's...:cool10: I also included a pic of us....
