I have made a few modifications on the front end of my bike. I've udated http://www.austinev.org/evalbum/preview.php?vid=1231 with a picture of the changes. With these changes the bike is performing quite nicely. The first try was to move the calipers to the vertical struts. This caused significant dive on hard braking. I addes another set of calipers for a total of 4. The front end does not dive or rise with this setup. I think the calipers tend to lock the suspension during braking in this configuration. me
