Buying advice for a Roadsport/Supersport

[V7SLR]

The wide track setup is usually fitted with a steeper castor angle, this is what gives the better turn in and you can make this adjustment to a standard track setup by moving around a few washers.
The main reason people opt for wide track is aesthetics, these days cars with standard track can appear too narrow at the front and the wide track gives a better balance and looks more purposeful, it's down to personal preference though and many owners couldn't care less.

Missed a lot of this. It's fun. I agree and disagree with many comments...

I'm not convinced that caster is the key thing that changes turn in to be sharper. I suspect it just makes the steering get heavier in the turn.

I agree with hustle on the widetrack. The rest of what he says is nonsense. Race m/c, really? High ratio pedal does the trick nicely.

Racers? Compulsive liers the lot of em. Ask me how I know.

Watts, that's a waste of time and takes away the ability to control front/rear balance with rear ride height.

But I'm probably talking nonsense!

Totally agree. Removed mine and the only thing I lost was the headache of rattles and maintenance requirements!

I still have mine, all well after 4 years.

How does it take away the ability to control balance with ride height?
