Dare I ask, Sid, how you happened to come about that bit of data? :roll:

Times two on Sids comment-- once Higginbotham got the tandem frt end sorted out--Ms Rose was spot on with the solid rear end  we only got a little over 3 a couple of times but the steering was rock solid

Thanks all. In the beginning I did ask Sid's advice and he said no suspension.
The comment made by the Bloodhound connection threw me and I did
panic. I've asked guys that have run at the pan and they say it's smooth (even)
but dusty.
I'll revert to the original plan. Thanks for saving me a bunch of unnecessary
work. I don't know why I even read that "unlimited" stuff?????. :evil: :-D.

I have to get some components machined before I can post pics of the final
solution.
I was a little rusty on the first two welds anyway so it all turned out good in the end.

Mike, I don't see any reason you shouldn't build in a limited amount of suspension if you want to try it, so long as you totally eliminate body roll & still have the ability to replace the coil-overs with solid links if you don't like the results. That will allow you to find what works best for you & your surface.
An inline tandem front end is less responsive to inputs than a staggered tandem(on salt).

Thanks Sid, I wanted to make the set up dual purpose but packaging on the shock deal is a nightmare.
I'll go with your original advice. BTW, the front will be staggered slightly. :cheers:

Damn. Blackouts started early this year. I was watching Moto3 to see if the local boy could pull off three in a row. Never saw the start or finish. Outage lasted 2 hours and more.Just found out Bradical Binder won. Good News. Bad news is my man Rossi's motor blew. Mixed fortunes but if you love bike racing you gotta take the good with the bad.
That's about it. :cheers:

Everything about a streamliner is a nightmare. :evil: I just got the material for the drive shafts between the transfer cases, $1200 was a nightmare.

Are talking Sammy Swindell stagger or George Jones stagger???? :cheers:
I`d never advocate drugs,alcohol,violence or insanity to anyone...But they work for me.

Oval track stagger may lead to adventure, liquid fuelled stagger may cause you to miss the adventure!  :evil: :evil: :evil: :cheers: :cheers: :cheers:
