OK, everybody else is right, and once again, I am made out to be the bad guy for having 45 plus years of experience with the very stuff I am told I have NO clue about.
OP, please continue to post your pictures of this build, the "fight" referred to isn't your fault, all this is only Cody doing what he insists on doing every time I post anything, no mater the topic, 'flame and defame Dave'.
Cody, I have no idea why you hate me so much that you post your vitriol on every post I make, but 1, it is well past old, and 2, it needs to stop in its tracks, right now, because it does not help the triples community. Get mental health on this, you are, and have been way out of control in defaming me for some time now.
As far as the front end, FACT, this front end has significantly less parts than a telescopic front end, with less cost to manufacture. It also has been used, and discarded by a number of manufacturers, in favor of the telescopic front ends, for that same amount of decades. Ask yourself, if a factory found a good design front end, such as this one, and it had less parts to manufacture, for less cost, why would they change it to something else that works worse, and, costs more?
If this design were so good over everything else, then, we would all be riding bikes, in all forms (street, dirt, all racing), with this design, including bicycles, and not even batting an eye when the bike came new with it fitted. If this were the case, EVERY bike would have this front end on it, here's a clue, they don't.
Now, I would very much like to see the pictures of this build, not to criticize, but to comment, intelligently, exactly like any and everyone else has the opportunity to do on this site, including my key detractor, Cody.
As I have said all along, this build is nice, the builder is good, has great fabrication skills, and it is interesting, but, from knowing the front end being used, I strongly disagree that it will be the end all it has been made out to be.
And, the larger question, Cody, just how many motorcycles have you ever owned, and/or own right now, that has this type of fork installed on it, OEM, or added later? How many have you ever ridden with this type front suspension on it, sir???
