Let´s build it!
Hi everybody!
I’ve done a basic geometry of Lamoto2 Hub Centre Steering bike in 3D
It will be updated with your help.
Front wheel travel is 120mm
Anti-dive equivalent to 12º fork
There can be mistakes, so please report everything you see.
60º laying is no tested, neither 15º steering
Wher can we put the front suspension??
There’s a lot to do!

Hi everybody!
This is a present for all the builders and designers that want to build an Honda based motorcycle, and specially for those who want to build a MOTO2.
Probably you know that we’re building an alternative suspension MOTO2 for the CEV.
We have scanned and rebuilt the complete CBR 600RR engine from a digitalized. I hope you’ll like it. The critical points are perfect but obviously the rest it’s closer and in the worst places can be over +-5mm.
If you were a reader of this blog you’ve probably seen I’ve got less time to write. But please send all your comments o doubts and I’ll try to answer you ASAP :-)
See you here at the NewConceptsCafé!
Obviously Edward it’s a master of motorcycles and I hope he will find a bit of time to spend in the Moto2.
I think it’s a very interesting bike. What do you think about it?
He also sent me a very interesting paper and some pictures of a bike I’ll publish in other post.

SYSTEM 2 CALLED D-D-P (DEMONSTENER-DIFAZIO-PARKER)
It’s based on the mentioned systems. It’s main advantage it´s the arm placed over the wheel. It’s relationed in some way with the Ecosse Spirit system. It´s like system D-D but I think it can be lighter.
The biggest inconvenient it’s probably the cooling. There’s less free space for the radiator in the front part of the bike.
Both systems, as you can see are rod-end free for a better precision, even if they are more complicated and heavier.
What do you think about these systems?
Any idea for a better performance?
Do you a have a better system and you want to see it on the racetrack?
I wait for your comments!
Happy new year dear Readers!!
The project Lamoto2 it’s going really well.
We’ve been thinking about publishing it worldwide with the help of www.thekneeslider.com even if this can make the project too much big for our human resources. However I think we’ll do it because it’s a great chance to meet people interested in this kind of projects.
I’ve done the first proposals while we’re waiting for the readers designs. Readers are really interested and they are mainly giving their opinions and some of them are proposing their ideas.
FIRST SYSTEM it´s called D-D (Demonstener-Difazio)
It exploit the best of both systems. It has a double swing arm single-sided or a double swingarm on both sides. It uses a commercial Vyrus rim and it’s really light an efficient.
irst you can see is the headstock, it´s placed inside the hub. It´s a preliminary design so doesn´t matter too much how is it made. The headstock it’s a part of the system that DOESN’T TURN.
There we have the Hub. It turns with the steering. It has big bearing with small section and so a reasonable weight.
The hub wears also the supports of the callipers. We must still calculate if the headstock allows the loads they produce.
The direction come from a bended plate that works mainly in shear mode so it´s strength enough to hold the efforts.
Over the wheel we must continue with a telescopic cylinder that can carry the steering effort with a compass or with a grooved shaft.
The most elegant solution it’s the Cannondale steering system with needle bearings.
The swingarms can be one-sided or both sided depending of the stress analysis results. We’ll choose the one with better performance.
