ABSTRACT:
A front suspension for a motorcycle or motorized trike which is capable of supporting increased dynamic loads while maintaining the conventional motorcycle styling and ride characteristics. The front suspension includes a pair of spaced-apart and generally parallel rear forks, each of which extends between an upper bracket and a rocker arm. A lower bracket also supports the rear forks. The upper and lower brackets are each adapted for pivotal connection with the frame. Each rocker arm is pivotally coupled to a rear fork and extending forwardly to an axle bore. A pair of spaced apart and generally parallel front forks is also pivotally attached to each rocker arm. The front forks extend upwardly and are generally parallel to the rear forks. The front forks are movable relative to the rear forks in response to pivotal movement of the rocker arms. Opposing springs are mounted about each front forks so that fork movement is restrained by opposing spring forces.
