LOL!
Well there are exactly 2 K-members for these cars that have had FEA, and they would be the factory K and the XV. Your claim is unsupported, and I suspect incorrect. Vomit all you like, but if you don't like that aluminum K it's only your own ignorance fueling your opinion, not anything based in engineering principles. On another high horses are we? Hell the swing arm on my '07 Triumph Speed Triple is welded cast aluminum, it's almost like it isn't a problem. Does the qualifier "to be heavily reverse loaded at high cyclic rates." mean anything to you? Please educate me, exactly how many welded cast alum pieces made up the XV IFS system? The reason you don't see more welded aluminum is only because it requires a higher level of design, engineering, and skill of construction than the aftermarket companies that make suspension for these cars want to put into their products. Really? Which is why the XV stuff was so expensive, which is part of why they went out business (that and poor customer service, but, that's not a design problem Did I ever claim otherwise?).
As for your overly dramatic "nailing to the cross", well, yeah, you're wrong Don't make me cry . XV was alive and kicking in 2010, and still sending out publications. Check the copyright date on their XV magazine attached below.
You're the one that made up the facts to support your opinion Your horse is getting higher, I just happen to have the evidence Really, all I have read here are unsupported empty claims.
Aluminum!? How dare you! :rofl:
Hey if you've got the engineering analysis to back up not having a gusset, have at it I have no idea what your reference to a "gusset" refers to here.
