Radical Engineering - Motorcycle design has always been a delicate balance between innovation and practicality. Most manufacturers stick to conventional engineering, favoring tried-and-true methods that ensure reliability and ease of production. This is particularly evident in suspension design, where telescopic forks dominate the industry despite their well-documented shortcomings.
The Yamaha A-N-D FFE 350, crafted by Julian Farnam, is a forkless custom motorcycle built upon the iconic 1990s Yamaha RZ350 two-stroke racer. (Picture from: Silodrome)
However, for those willing to challenge the norm, alternative front suspension systems offer intriguing possibilities—something Julian Farnam understood when he set out to create a motorcycle that defied tradition. With a passion for engineering and a desire to push boundaries, Farnam took on the challenge of building a forkless front suspension system of his own.
The Yamaha A-N-D FFE 350's most radical feature is Julian Farnam's signature Forkless Front End (FFE) design, completely eliminating the standard fork. (Picture from: Odd-Bike)
Lacking the massive resources of big-name manufacturers, he relied on skill, ingenuity, and sheer determination to bring his vision to life. The result was the Yamaha A-N-D FFE 350—a remarkable machine that looks less like a home-built custom and more like an advanced prototype from a major factory R&D department.

At its core, the FFE 350 is based on a Yamaha RZ350, a legendary two-stroke racer from the 1990s. Farnam’s modifications, however, set it apart from anything else on the road. The most radical change was his signature Forkless Front End (FFE) design, which completely eliminated the standard front fork.
While forkless designs avoid traditional fork issues, they introduce challenges like slop and vibration, which Julian Farnam mitigated using tensioned dual linkages for a precise, connected feel. (Picture from: Odd-Bike)
Traditional telescopic forks, despite their widespread use, have inherent issues such as flexing under load and changes in geometry under braking. By removing the forks and implementing a system of linkages, Farnam aimed to create a more stable and responsive front suspension. Of course, forkless designs come with their own engineering challenges.
They require intricate linkage systems, which, if not properly designed,
can introduce slop and unwanted vibrations.
