Aaron,
I am sorry I am unable to answer your question. Several years ago I came to
the conclusion that I could not be a very good motorcycle guy. We took on
board motorcycle specific tech guys who could better serve those racers. I
suggest you contact Dale Martin at (818) 842-2132, I am sure he can answer
your questions.
Dan W
P.S. - every motorcycle I had always threw me on the ground, a gust of
gravity?
