Final DBC Chassis design

Maybe quot;finalquot; is too strong a word, as if a chopper is ever finished, only abandoned.br/ The decision was made to do a Hossack front suspension, something I'd wanted to do ever since the early '80s when I saw a photo of Norman Hossack's original design and I thought quot;this is the future!quot;... not to mention another inspirational figure, John Britten, whose bike also featured a Hossack front end. Also finalized was the general suspension geometry and chassis shape.br/ You can see on the left, some explorations about a riveted structure for the upright.
