Description
Technical Field

[0002] In motorcycle development, actual riding tests are usually required to determine the optimal performance. For riding safety, trail distance is a key influencing parameter. Trail distance is the distance between the intersection of the vertical line from the front axle to the ground and the intersection of the steering axis and the ground. Specifically, trail distance is the distance between the intersection of the vertical line from the center point of the front axle to the ground and the intersection of the extended line of the steering axis (usually the three-star platform or steering trunk) and the ground. Currently, trail distance adjustments are mainly reflected in… Figure 1 and Figure 2 The adjustment of the 'steering trunk' of the shown part is achieved by adjusting... Figure 1 The distance L' (the distance between the steering trunk center axis and the damper center) is used to change the trailing distance. Therefore, during the development process, each adjustment of the trailing distance requires redrawing the 3D structure of the steering trunk and prototyping it, which seriously slows down the development progress. In order to reduce the number of prototypings, the trailing distance range is large each time, so the trailing distance parameter is difficult to obtain accurately. Summary of the Invention
