I went to our yearly auto show here in San Diego today. When I was
walking through the BMW section, I noticed they had one
futuristically looking BMW Motorcycle on display so I decided to take
a look at the suspension systems. The rear suspension looked like a
smaller version of the GMC mid axle with a single arm supporting the
rear wheel from one side. And guess what; it had a separate
parallel arm to react the torque forces from braking and acceleration
back to the main frame, similar to the GMC version except the
reaction arm was on the top side. Their suspension arm was much more
complex then our GMC's as it had a drive shaft hidden inside the
suspension arm. Now, if we could get one of the Jims to copy that we
could have a six-wheel drive GMC.
I also noticed most of the larger vehicle with disc brakes on the
back seemed to have a small drum inside the disc for parking brake
similar to what MB has had for many years. Who is going to make one
for our GMCs with rear wheel disc brakes?
