The frame

 

The frame is an easily disassembled construction of rigid design. In case of damage or distortion of one part, only the damaged part need to be changed. About three frames were kept as spares for a 10 to 12 motorcycle unit,
as it was unlikely that more of the same frame section were effected at anyone time. Telescopic fork were alike those of the solo motorcycles, but were beefed-up to cope with the extra strain due to higher weight and off-road strain. Double action hydraulic shock absorbers ensured soft response characteristics. Ordinary motor oil was used to simplify supply at the front.
