Awesome response, looks like we both understand each other. Good point on less travel and a less aggressive rearward rate, that will aid in the change being less drastic and making more average riders, used to mainstream style bikes, love the bike even quicker. Again, best of luck and this looks like a wining setup!!!

I really like it, however it seems like you will have a similar feel/problem to the Canfield Jedi, in that it absorbs impacts amazingly well but the rider has to accommodate his riding to two different bikes at the same time because of the change in wheelbase under compression. To be more specific, when traveling in a straight line the bike feels like it has a short CS length and has a flickable feel and the rear wheel path makes the bike almost accelerate as it hit bumps/rocks/etc. but that flickable feel is lost once the bike compresses past static sag because the change in CS length makes for slower cornering. Slower cornering and flickability are both good, but they cannot exist on the same bike at the same time unless the rider is Bi-polar and can cope with that change. I commend you on your design, it looks amazing, your presentation is beautiful and you have some really neat adjustments/accessories built into the package and I hope your dream of getting this bike built comes true because im sure im one of a small percent with my particular gripe.

every goggle company (good ones) do this multi-post system. the two on the lens are for the basic tear-off retention, the one post on the outrigger is to keep them organized when using more than one tear-off. http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com/4/19/261/4565/ITEM/Blur-Optics-B-1-Goggle-Tear-Offs.aspx in this picture you can clearly see the random hole on the tear-off mid way from the mount hole and the tether. This hole is to mount to that outrigger and keeps the tear-offs organized. good looking goggles! 1+
