Gary, I prefer the idea of the TR4A Frame with the Solid Axle. It has been
done before, usually as a matter of expediency/availabilty.
I see the engineering of the later frame as a benefit to the front
suspension. The components are essentially all the same, but it is friendlier
for making
adjustments.
It would be good to know more about what is better or worse about the later
TR4A (IRS Inspired) frame. Useful information for all of us. I always try to
listen.
Finally, once again, I have to say that I am in awe of what Tony (RATCO) is
doing for the Triumph Community.
