  1. I am interested in a BikeE RX that has a rigid fork..now I know that the front suspended RX can't be
    fitted with the regular BikeE fairing, but can one be fitted to a rigid front end RX ? Thanks..

  4. Now is that a rigid fork or a suspension fork ?

  6. Mike,

    I took the zipper from my BikeE AT with rigid fork and adapted the climbing handlebar extensions
    used to mount it to the handlebars with aluminum straps for extra width to fit the wider FX-RX bars.
    The up and down fork movement is easily accomodated by the flexible fairing. Putting Primo Comets in
    place of the Hookworms and fairing the seatback with a kayak bladder made this a much faster bike.
    (I know, people here classify all BikeEs as dogs.) See picture at:
    www.nyx.net/~pforss/Bikes/zipper.jpg Not too visible is the angle bracket I made to attach a generic
    kick stand to the swingarm. I can't see parking a bike on its side in the dirt! Anybody know of a
    nice fender set adaptable to this fully suspended bike?
