<p>The suspension and steering assembly for the steered wheel of a motorcycle comprises a raked telescopic fork assembly and a pivotal connection between one end of the fork assembly and a frame of the motorcycle permitting relative rotational movement between the fork assembly and the frame about an axis normal to the plane of the frame and about an axis contained in that plane. Handlebars are rigidly attached to the fork assembly, and a non-rotary wheel hub member, secured to the other end of the fork assembly. A wheel is rotationally mounted on the wheel hub member with a radius arm assembly pivoted to the frame below the pivotal connection between the fork assembly and the frame. A pivotal connection between the radius arm assembly and the hub member at a location rearwardly spaced from the axis of rotation of the wheel. The pivotal connection between the fork assembly and the frame and the pivotal connection between the radius arm assembly and the hub member together define a steering axis which passes through the pivotal connections and passes rearwardly of the axis of rotation of the wheel.</p> |
