Re: Will BMW's innovative technology change motorcycling suspension forever?
It's true, the XA model was a 45 inch flat sidevalve twin designed for Africa. Pretty rare, even harder to find are XA springers because back in the day they were the same diameter as one of the Ford models radius arms. They could be extended by cutting off about half the leg and welding a Ford arm in place.
This was before you could buy anything you want from the catalog. If you wanted a bobber or chop. you had to actually build it yourself..
