Abstract
This disclosure relates to apparatus for use with a motorcycle including a frame, a front wheel and a suspension system connecting the front wheel with the frame, the suspension system including a fork slider, a fork tube which is movable within the slider, and a force device for urging the slider and the tube apart. The apparatus comprises first device adapted to be connected to the slider, second device adapted to be connected to the tube, latch apparatus for engaging the first and second devices, and releasable force means for moving the first and second devices together and thereby moving said suspension system to a lowered position during acceleration of the motorcycle. A control is provided for disabling the apparatus and enabling the motorcycle to operate in its normal level after the period of acceleration has passed.
