nklr - why can't shafties wheelie? (fwd)

[Mike Daugherty]

I also have this trunk. It works very well for me. I wonder if the base could be cut out to match the tool area on the bike, and still maintain the base's integrity? I will look on my set up this weekend and report back if it looks feasible.

Don't know about rain as I have only had it in light rain so far, no leaks. Very possible to put a thin line of sicky backed foam in the upper groove of lid to make it guarranteed w/p..

Dude- The scientific reason why modern shaft-drive bikes neither wheely nor countersteer effectively is hinted at in the history of the Spagthorpe Boxer. See http://www.ibmwr.org/otech/boxer.html - Dave Svoboda
