Hi Guys
I know you are all saying not him again, well you know what they say its
hard to get rid of a bad thing and here I am.
Now that we have the brakes sorted and I did know what they looked like but
dident know that they were called vented. I have some of the info but its
only when its all put together does it make the jigsaw complete, thanks
guys. The other thing is that I can ask the questions without getting a kick
in the ars or a slap on the head from you guys untill we one day meet, O God
ill have to wear amour never mind amour for the cruiser, ill be put through
my paces running off road with a load of cruisers after me. Anyway here
goes.
It was always my understanding that the higher the vehicle is the higher its
center of gravity and so more unstable. Now if that is the case why rais the
cruiser and there by rais its center of gravity, which in theory should make
it more unstable than before. Fart cars are all very low to the ground and
corner well and cars with a higher center tend to wobble or swing out at the
rear. So could someone explain that to me please why we all want the
cruisers higher apart from the obvious reason more ground clearance and
easier to crawl under with the big belly etc. Another thing the weight of
the cruisers body lies on the springs YES and is held there by bolts, then
the shocks stop the force of the spring from going on and on andon and you
being bounced from here to well anywhere really and feeling quite like a
wobbly jelly. Ok so is that all that the weight of the body is on and when
you lift the body up more the only thing that changes is the distance from
the body to the axles am I right.. So what else has to be able to more that
distance of the lift, maybe the brake pipes or other things, does the engine
also move up because its attached to the body and how does that work with
the drive shafts that go into the engine, do they move up. You know what im
trying to say dont you. Its just I do not have any mechanical training at
all and at times its difficult to know how things work together in the over
all picture.
