kaighn80 Posted March 8, 2010 Report Posted March 8, 2010 does anyone know of any software for helping with suspension geometry design, im starting a frame and swing arm build for a cbr600 (1989) and i only want to build it once (unlike the mito625!!) would like to be able to play with certain aspects before comitting to building them so i can keep the costs down. free would be good but i'll take what i can get.

Not free, but not incredibly expensive and I've heard good things about it - http://tonyfoale.com/ Alternatively, find *any* free 2D CAD program and just draw stuff to scale with the appropriate constraints and see how it moves. Bit more time consuming I expect. Or do what Norman Hossack did, and use cardboard and coathangers
Bravecat Posted March 8, 2010 Report Posted March 8, 2010 Heres a free parametric 2D CAD system. 'Solid Edge Free 2D'. It has a Goal Seek capability that could be useful. http://www.plm.automation.siemens.com/en_u...e2d/index.shtml
Majik Posted March 8, 2010 Report Posted March 8, 2010 Don't knock SketchUp from Google - does most things you want, and there's a surprising amount of models already there... http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/det...amp;prevstart=0
