  • Patent number: 12005989
    Abstract: The integrated tank and compressor mounting system for a motorcycle has a mount block which has a mounting face, and a compressor clamp. The mount block has a threaded cylindrical section which forms a tank mount for mounting a tank. The tank has a cylindrical tubular section closed at one end and threaded at the other end such that the tank threads correspond to the mount block threads. The tank provides air for an air suspension which includes a forward suspension unit activated by air and an aft suspension unit activated by air. A supply line connects the tank air volume to an inlet valve on the suspension control unit. The suspension control unit has a cylindrical forward control valve passage and the forward control valve passage has a forward transfer chamber.

  • Patent number: 11801912
    Abstract: A suspension unit has a piston assembly connected to an adjuster. The piston assembly has three or more concentric cylindrical bodies including: an outer tube; an inner tube, and a dampener rod. The dampener rod is inside and concentric to the inner tube. The outer tube is rigidly connected to the dampener rod. The inner tube is telescopically mounted to the outer tube. The inner tube is inside and concentric to the outer tube. The adjuster has an adjuster compression entry port. The axle clamp rebound port connects to an adjuster block rebound entry port. The adjuster block has a high-speed compression cavity formed on an end of the adjuster block.

  • Patent number: 11618523
    Abstract: A motorcycle fork has an upper tree; a lower tree; a steering neck; and a steering stem. The steering stem is connected to the upper tree at a steering stem upper end, and is connected to the lower tree at a steering stem a lower end, and passes through the steering neck. The steering stem is oriented to a steering neck centerline in a first mode. A neck upper bearing race seat is formed on an upper portion of the steering neck. A neck lower bearing race seat is formed on a lower portion of the steering neck. An upper bearing race receives an upper bearing. The upper bearing race is mounted in the neck upper bearing race seat in the first mode. A lower bearing race receives a lower bearing. The lower bearing race is mounted in the neck lower bearing race seat in the first mode.
