My homemade outrigger

[yosser]

Well everyone, I'm new here and just wanted to show you all what I have done and am making for any bike. My lady decided to get her motorcycle license after riding with me for many years. Well she got her license and her first bike but was too nervous about riding it. Hated to see her that way so did plenty of research and started in on the project.

I am a shop and engineering teacher, so I did months of testing and configuring to find the best way to make an outrigger system that didn't look crazy and actually acted as part of the bike. Have built quite a few for people who see it and people we know. Would like an honest opinion on what you think after I figure out how to post some pictures. Really, all I cared about was that she could enjoy the freedom of riding on her own and had something that was safe and secure. Just highlight the link then right click on the link and go to my google doc to see the pictures. Thanks again!!

what did you do about steering Does it need a rake kit. I am planning on making my own Do you have any tips or possible plan what wheel-suspension did you use. I can use all the help I can get. My bike is an 86 Goldwing 1200 interstate. Thanks Fred
