I remember seeing an article (have it somewhere) about these bikes.  One of the Honda Shop guys (Gary) had one and they were comparing it to a Horst Leightner (SP?) linkage system bike.  Horst is the engineer that designed the A-Trak system and started the ATK company. 
Neat bikes, I never knew how many of them were actually built.

Well, I found the article for the prototype machine built by S&W.  It was being compared to a prototype ATK single side shock.  I know that I have another color picture of one of the Honda Reps with his bike, but I haven't found it yet.  Should stumble across it this weekend.  I will scan them when I get them together.

I found one of them but not the best one that I know I have.  Still looking between house plumbing problems and son's car problems etc...
