Mike,
I can tell you Reinhard's system is worth every penny. I too got boned with the exchange rate. But with what I needed for Steadicam it was quite a bit more.

As for Reinhard's unit. It is really built like a panzer. The lean control in much more heavy duty than the original handle bar. You have a lot of options in setting the height, width and fore aft placement of the saddles.

I like it a few solid inches over the knee.

I find that with the handle bar I could hit 15mph. With the lean control it really keeps you at 12.5. At first i found I would bend my body in half forward to try and get up to speed. But that is totally wrong and is all pelvis.

I've road on rough bouncy, grassy ground no problem. I want to hit the beach next.

Honestly I have zero complaints about Reinhard's system. It is a quantum leap from a cut down handle bar with plexi.

I still need a skid plate, heavy duty kickstand and a hitch kit for a riskshaw.
