landing gear on a fazer

[His Dudeness]

Never seen that before, but it's a nice idea.

I'd think the easiest thing to do would be to link the "landing gear" control to the speedo so if it drops below eg 5mph, the gear deploys, although you might want a backup attached to an accelerometer (or maybe the brake system, I don't know) such that it would also deploy under very hard braking in case the speedo doesn't "catch up" in time.

yeah it would be possible to add some sort of logic controller into it but from the sites i've read its seems that people prefer to just have a switch that allows them to control when the landing gear deploys. i might have to add in some sort of safety feature that tells the rider if they've gone below a certain speed and the landing gear isn't down

Looked into something along these lines after an accident at work left me unable to ride properly (Thankfully a couple of ops have sorted things)
How about something like these?
