Todd:
you just do the weight balance like you would at the track: a
suspension-extension potentiometer (like a throttle-position sensor) on the
fork and the swingarm (assuming the bike has suspension). Calibrate the
potentiometers so you know how much compression/ extension equals how much
downforce.

Excellent point!.. bet that plays a big part on lift!?
if that ever gets worked into the equation maybe some
giant overhead fish scales can be used for the lift
differences I was refering to?
