Any thoughts about rack and pinion center steer?


To minimize bumpsteer, consider bell crank steering, where one leg attaches to the tie rod fwd of the steering shaft and the other attaches behind it. If the toe links need to be shorter than this type of steering would allow, to match the arc of the toe attachment on the spindle, look for a center tapped center pinion rack. The ends bolt down to the chassis and the middle slides back and forth.
:D Thank You, I ordered bellcranks from a Yamaha R1, eBay

A bell crank is just an arm on a rotating shaft.

No problem. The fewer the words, the more difficult it is to read skill sets. :cheers:

OK, This is the route I am going with the tire as wide as the rim, this will give me more room for the chain with button head bolts...
