Simple fork question

Wolfe and crew - I hate to hear competent builders having such failures but I need to hear it to console myself its a common feature in this hobby-sport. At this moment I'm slightly queasy because I'm pensive I'll get Trixie points sorted out soon then face the wide open world of fate leaving my shed to find out for sure.

For under $100 you can have forks that'l make ya hunt pot holes just to ignore em.

My pot hole seeking forks have to date made me $395.00.

My goal is to embarrass all comers on new fangled pricey hi tech upgrades and wipe the 'knowing smirks' off all faces - riders to designers, no mater the profit poor preforming adaptations may bring them. I'm no engineer nor machinist but have figured out how to correct the factory modified Roadholder to best there is as already found by more serious riding and saves than I hear or see from racers on or off road. Stay tuned - if I live long enough too prove it dramatically. It was crisis on substandard hi tech moderns and factory mis-modified Roadholders that forced me beyond what's considered normal to myself and rest of the world. But so far I can't cause upsets exceeding those crash states on purpose and glee. To go in harsher Peel needs way Mo Pow-er.

My fork solution has made Greg Fauth way more profit than a few hundred bux and saved riders similar amounts while keeping their faith and wonder in real Norton Commandos. Its so good I seek contests with 200 mph bikes on technical tracts I don't think they can catch up with me even if they can hit 200 and me only 175 it'll be too little too late because of next turn they must slow up so much for hehehehehehee.

I'm no genius Britten but do see his wonder as a corner cripple too. His early death touches me directly and a model to get away with whatever before it strikes me down too.

175? I owed a 170 bhp super bike that would not see 175....your 60 horses ? come on i have owned 140 bikes ,zzr1100, cbr1100, no road going Commando will ever do 175!
when one does i will show my arse in Burtons window.

Yeah may not be able to pull it off but won't be trying with no 60 hp that's for sure. I don't expect to out run elites in straights, but boy howdy I sure do expect to get far enough ahead in the turns they still might not be able to catch up before the next turn, the sharper and more of em and rougher off canter the better - I bless my corrected as designed Roadholders for a good bit of how Ms Peel may surprise us all. If so it would be an event worth baring souls down to their bottoms : )

I do know what I've got in Ms Peel linked and forked, she just lacked power to play with the 900's-1300's in the more opens over 120-140 mph between turns. I do want to try other Roadholder internals just to know for sure what is safest to trust Ms Peel and my life with. Torque gives hard acceleration up to some speed, horse power allows the pull to higher speeds before top out. VW's often beat big V8's at lights but get left behind after a shit or two. Unless their are lightened up and boosted.

The hardest I tested pavement so far was sliding front in straight steer 60 mph on rippled rumpled century old wagon trail road in 10 mph posted switch backs. Axle disc area moved/vibed so fast they turned to a blurr but could not feel it only see it. To keep front sliding like that requires increasing power the whole time to keep front light, until let off to stop the slide and get upright after apex. Chassis twists up easy to feel and the 1/2 cyle unwrap give un-real
sling shot I'm addicted to. Doing this stuff lifts bike off both tires at times so the landing on full 6" extended forks comes into its own on Ms Peel level of chicane tight road racing.

Ms Peel Peel Peel is what makes it so inviting and easy, not me, as not much pilot skill or effort needed thank goodness. Anyone can have same package for damn cheap to boot. I can not approach these loads and speeds on anything else and nothing else I've tempted to anger to put Peel in her place ain't been up to it either. Stay tunes and wear clean undies.

BTW I was at Texas Mile last month and saw what hp it takes to do what speed in what temps and how low a stance. Going by that I can hope for 175 but won't know for sure till I try. Peel has a sleek fairing, which I can only hope don't interfere with handling even if does give better top speed. Peel will sit as low or lower than the vintage racers and land speeders when air muscles contracted. Not your dads Commando dear sir. Land speeders have assured me a basic 750 can go straight and steady as fast it can or we dare too...

The reason I have to transition to straight steer is because the leans get so low and the forks turned out so much in counter steering the front wants to wash out and low side along with the over powered rear, so with bike already falling down on its own I can relax grip on forks so they naturally flip to straight steer hook up again and tend to hi side the bike, which counters the rear low side spin out, so off we go in harsher accelerating leap though rest of the turn. Forks take a beating doing this but real [as designed not sold] Roadholders soak it right up- amazing to me really and more so to so depend on them beyond what other forks let me down so bad.
