Title: 4V single!! Post by: monsta on June 21, 2012, 07:47:53 PM one of my mate's at Pro Twin in Perth working on 1 of 3 supermono's in Australia...
Apparently it will be coming to a track near me! [evil] (http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q41/monsta904/single.jpg) Title: Re: 4V single!! Post by: The Don on June 22, 2012, 12:37:23 AM Mmmmmm nice
Title: Re: 4V single!! Post by: zooom on June 22, 2012, 04:46:41 AM wouldn't be the 1st one we've seen...but that is an interesting casing structure for sure...I guess the hump is for a helluva counterbalancer in the lack of top cylinder...

Title: Re: 4V single!! Post by: orangelion03 on June 25, 2012, 12:23:52 PM I am curious. Why the forward cylinder? Low center of gravity? Is there some feature of the L-twin geometry that favors that cylinder? Any information would be appreciated.

Awesome btw. Title: Re: 4V single!! Post by: Triple J on June 25, 2012, 02:04:28 PM CG id guess. Maybe cooling as well...the vertical cylinders tend to run hotter. Maybe doesn't matter since it's water cooled though. It seems like using the vertical cylinder would provide more flexibility for chassis layout though...allowing for a longer swingarm without the front wheel touching the motor. Of course, that idea seems to be relatively new, so maybe not considered at the time the Supermono was designed. Title: Re: 4V single!!

Must be a trade off, an engineering compromise. |
