[QUOTE="timetraveller, post: 91810, member: 456"] I like what you have done where the steering head fastens to the front cylinder head lug. It has long seemed to me that the change to a central interface, although it might have been fine with a 'C' type oil tank for support, was less than optimum when it came to the 'D's where there is only a tube to take compression loads. That tube cannot give any lateral support to the top. Obviously it is strong enough as they don't break but a hybrid 'D' with a screw thread in the middle to allow head angle changes and your lower support could be a very nice combination. [/QUOTE]
