JUST ABOUT TO EMBARK ON BUILDING A RACER, SOMEWHAT FOOLISH I KNOW. I WANT TO BUILD A 125 AND HAVE A D1 FRAME, OBVIOUSLY A PLUNGER WHICH IS HEAVIER THAN YOUR STANDARD SWINGING ARM FRAME, BUT I JUST LOVE THE LOOK OF THE D1 FRAME. IS IT POINTLESS?
CHEERS

The simple and quick answer is yes, it is foolish and pointless! Use a D7 or later D14, otherwise you are going to see more tarmac than most other people!! Hope that helps! Alan

A rigid is better than an undamped plunger as Brian Ing proved...
Common sense says:- D7(bronze welded) then D10/14/D175(welded), D3 Swinging arm frame (but replace rubber silentbloc bushes on s/a), D1/3 Rigid and last of all D1/3 plunger.... But hey I'd like to see a plunger out there!!
