That all makes perfect sense except you need to clarify which won't work, the bike or the computer? --- Alan L Henderson wrote:

It goes way back from the early days of reading rec.moto newsgroups. I probably first read a "shaft drives can't..." back in 1994 or 95. Matt Knowles - Ferndale, CA - http://www.knowlesville.com/matt/motorcycles '99 Sprint ST - for going fast and far (2CZUSA) '01 KLR650 (A15) - for exploring the North Coast backroads '97 KLX300 & '01 Lakota - for playing in the dirt '79 KZ400 - just because it was the first vehicle I ever owned

My other bike has a fully enclosed chain drive, so I suppose I'm perfectly prepped at this point to counter (so to speak) with a quip about its capabilities, and I bet damn few of you have experience with a bike like that. It can FLY!!! Honest! Stephen, who occasionally knows whereof he speaks --- Norm Keller wrote:

Its obvious that shaft driven bikes can't countersteer because of the driver. Only HUMAN driven bikes can really do anything.

They are 1 1/2" wide. Length is 3" on the leading edge. 4" when measured from the back of the footpeg bracket. Tony
