I'm more curious of the handling of the double wishbone front suspension. No forks. Very odd steering setup though.

I'm sure he did this only to solve the stock frame's excessive lateral flex  ;D

That is a Hossack front suspension. The Saxon Triumph triple that won the European BEARS championship a few years ago for twins and triples used that front end. It was ridden by Alan Cathcart who does tests for Cyclenews and other magazines.

I really like the radiator setup.  Looks like he did away with the thermostat housing.  I see alot of work!
