Maybe some ideas for your Gl....
V-Rex was designed as a sort of ‘crossover’ streetbike with some
sporting pretensions, in a conservative style
EFI with intakes on both sides, twin shock rear suspension.The powerplant was envisioned as any decent spec S&S
motor in a dark chrome finish. EFI is hidden behind twin air
‘intakes’ keeping things symmetrical. A six-speed unit box switches
drive to the righthand side. Electricals take up the space under the
‘tank’ with the real thing located under the seat and behind the engine.
The bike has old-fashioned twin rear shock units although
cantilever linkages leading off the rather beefy swingarm allow them
to be laid down beyond the horizontal, similar to Yamaha’s MT-03 showbike.
The frame is a complex tube-section trellis affair from which the
engine ‘hangs’ via a rubber-mounted subframe . The two large side-
plates at the rear provide support for the now unit gearbox as well
as holding the swing arm and rear subframe.
Bodywork is minimal and the instruments are basic, comprising a
small low profile LCD multi-function unit. Twin projector-style head-
lights sit side by side in the large, swoopy-looking headllight nacelle.
The bike also sports twin high-mounted exhaust mufflers in polished
alloy joined via a central collector box beneath the solo seat.
high-mounted alloy exhaust system, slimline LCD instruments,
cast alloy swingarm and radial front calipers.
