Steering Fabrication

TreMoto fabricator Jeff Ferguson welds up the 3Z1's adjustable height steering stem. The new design will give us significantly more flexibility to tune our steering ratio to work more optimally at high lean angle. Laeger's Performance has agreed to supply us with a custom spec'd Protrax-style steering system that will allow us to achieve greater steering lock at lean angle than available on Monstrosity. All this means more grip, more lean angle and more control.

Steering head modifications are also nearly complete. Final bulkhead design will be finalized this week, resulting in a significantly stiffer structure than the previous designs. All the 4130 is already here, so its off the to waterjet, the press brake and the jig. We should have the frame ready for reassembly in the next two weeks.
