Chassis and Wheels
The rear frame section is welded together
by a combination of tubular, cast and forged
steel components. The frame is then paint
finish coated.
Cast steel bearings for supporting the foot
pegs of the rider and pillion are welded to
the frame. They are attached to the engine
in the area of the longitudinal control arm
bearing, the oil pan and on the considerably
reinforced light metal-gearbox case.

Due to the longer seat system and the addi-
tion of the top case, the rear frame is
lengthened accordingly. The side cases are
mounted to tubular frame extensions pro-
viding a screw mounting point. The left side
extension is removable for tire service by
removing four screws.
