Thanks;
Oh sh** Tyler don't kill yourself man. LOL
Yes. Eveything was cut by hand with hand tools, except some of the rear parts that a machine shop had to turn/broach to my design. And the parts I out sourced.
everyone knows it's hard to get everything to work together right.
I made full size models to make the front, rear, canti, and watts link work the best I could figure out.
Below is my advanced suspension design tool (HAHA) used in this case to determine the behavior of the Watts link with different length bars, and crank position.
Ya I know it sounds geeky but hey, I hated math in school now I use geometry and trig eveytime I have to figure a sub box volume!!
Its hard to see but each tape shows a different line (shifting up to 1/2 inch side to side) I kept it up until I got the best results over 15 inches of travel.
