ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE According to the present invention it is possible to provide a light weight link motion type suspension system for the front road wheel of a motorcycle which allows the handling characteristics of the motorcycle to be significantly improved. Suspension systems of this type are known, however, they have not been entirely satisfactory primarily due to the substantial weight of the suspension system which causes poor dynamic response characteristics. This weight problem is overcome with the structure of the invention as the side member, which define in part the forks of the suspension system, are made of separate components joined to cooperatively provide an elongate perimeter frame interconnected in the width thereof. These side members can be in the form of a truss like structure or in a preferred embodiment include a perimeter frame made of tubular material interconnected by plate steel. In addition, it is possible to produce such a perimeter frame by using stamped steel components singly or in combination with flat steel plate. Such a system results in a substantial weight reduction in the suspension system and improved handling characteristics.
