[QUOTE="ossagp, post: 192812, member: 1650"] Differences in rake, trail, and balance as well as more subtle things like swingarm angle, countershaft sprocket relationship to the swingarm, suspension and basic frame architecture all have a bearing on whether you will be steering any particular bike with the front or the back. the axle position makes a big difference to me. It isn't as simple as the monthlies like to make it sound sometimes. If you ever saw a dirttrack race of about any kind you see that the cars typically are partially sideways in a power slide. that is one kind of steering with the back. it is hard to imagine a dirttrack without that type of turning action.
