radical rear suspension...in feedback
Hi, I new here...nuff said...I have a radical idea for a sweet rear suspension and i need feedback, any feedback. I was thinking of buying 2 old sport bikes (same make, model, year) from a junkyard, ripping out the engine, dressing them up, cutting them in half, and putting the back half on the back of the firebird. I wanted a sportbike that had a hinged back end. Mine thought was, you know how when ever a sport bike takes off from idle, how it flatten's out, putting alot of traction on the back tires, I thought that would work for this, maybe in combo with a airfoil or wing. Plus, would that just look cool, 2 motorcycle style tires sticking out of the back of a firebird. anyway, tell want you think, even if it suck's and I have no right to even be around a car. I was also thinking of hinging it, attaching it to the front wheels, and basically getting a motorcycle stye benifit on cornering. also I thought of using a RX-8. I know this all sounds up in the air kind of thing, but I wanted to get a broad range of input before blowing the money.

You might not be able to support the weight with stock swing arms, frames, shock/spring, etc. I would build a tube frame cockpit and just weld it between the bikes... :p
