Finally the first ride with the new front suspension!
Here is a summary of the cons and pros of the RED 9 Design design.
Cons:
- Not cheap,
- Larger turning circle,
- More steering wheel turns needed,
- Horn must be connected differently from original.
Pros:
- The bus steers noticeably lighter,
- No play in steering system,
- Turns and roundabouts are much easier,
- Relaxed steering even at 100 km/h,
- Better suspension/damping, so bumps can be taken faster.
After the ride, rinsed well before the bus is parked for the winter.
