ABSTRACT:
The present invention is adapted to be embodied in a steering and suspension arrangement for the front wheel of a motorcycle. Specifically, the invention relates to a front wheel swing arm type steering and suspension arrangement. In the arrangement of the present invention, upper and lower swing arms connect a motorcycle frame to a steering knuckle which extends along one side of the front wheel. The invention provides means for adjusting the relative lateral positioning between the steering knuckle and the upper swing arm for suspension tuning. The invention also provides a relative positioning arrangement between the upper swing arm and the steering knuckle which minimizes forwards and backwards lateral movement of the suspension arrangement when the swing arms are moved up and down, as when the motorcycle encounters a bump during operation.
