What does 'reportedly' mean ? I know for certain the manx is steeper in the front end than the TZ350 which has 26 degree rake. The Australian made replica featherbed frames have 26 degree rake, they are changed from the original to handle differently and accommodate the effect of fitting 18 inch wheels to get decent rubber. From my own memory of manx fork yokes, you probably couldn't use them safely with a 26 degree rake and 19 inch wheels, except if the motor was a lot heavier.Where does your info on the original manx featherbed geometry come from ? Next time I go to a race meeting, I will take my magnetic base protractor with me, and I'll find a genuine bike and measure it. I will also check with the guy who makes the replicas. This is bullshit.
