wikipedia refering to bike forks :
"Upside-down" (USD) forks are installed inverted compared to typical forks, with the tubes at the bottom and the bodies at the top. This decreases the unsprung weight of the motorcycle and improves its handling. USD forks are usually found on sportbikes, though Honda's large power-cruiser, the Valkyrie, sported USD forks.
like I said tho, any shocks mounted the other way seems to be because of access, design or other matters, airflow, but not all out shock absorbing performance... Should I put the oven on?  |
Doh!
Unspung weight, yes i'll give you that. That will teach me to have a few to many glasses of wine before opening my mouth/keyboard.....
