                               Just a copy of a car setup. This looks to be for some type of a quad racer ( bike )

Sams a riot!
 Hint, on a good day it covers the 1320' in 7.44 seconds at 182mph.  Belongs to a girl.

4 link suspension.


It appears to be a 4 link but the lower bars are tied together with an X and a  double driveshaft loop. Technically it's a swingarm type, it also has an anti roll bar to assist with resisting twist.

 The previous rear chassis was close to structural failure. I had paid a (pro) fabricator to add a suspension, he did a poor job.
 It was removed and a friend and I built this rear suspension to replace the previous junk.  I'm a little proud of it.

 This was the ADRL race at Cordova. We qualified 13th on motor with no power adders.  I'm thinking it ran 4.69 in the 1/8 mile.

The wheel keeps on turning and you cant slow down, you can't hold on and you can't let go, you can't go back and you can't stand still, if the thunder don't get ya then the lightnin will.

Awesome. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

 There is a guy that used a porsche engine and  transaxle in a bike, he drove the rear wheel from a sprocket on the axle flange on one side. It has a 4 link suspension very similar to a race car.

The setup actually looks like a take on Joe Bolger's rear suspension ideas......

It's really pretty common on rear engine dragsters. The faster cars are still more often a hardtail but they are starting to use suspension more ofter on 6 second and faster cars.
