That's really the key. Mtk's assessment is quite realistic. Don't assume that the factory engineers are dumb and unmotivated. Consider that any design is a compromise of many factors, and you can be sure the factory engineers found a far more optimal compromise than you could. If you want to do better (for some definition of "better"), then you must be willing to play by different rules. For example, sacrifice cost. Or use new technology which was unavailable to the factory "back then".SpeedyManiac said:Not to mention the experience gained in the process of building this bike.
