SR3 Bike Handling Mod (Beta)

Mod: Hobbs' Bike Handling Mod
Author: Hobbs
Version: 2.0 (Beta)

Description: This is just a little mod I put together to try and make the motorcycles in SR3 a bit more fun to drive. I have included 2 versions for testing.

V1:
I toned down the steering responsiveness, increased leaning angle, and increased the braking speed. Includes files for the Bloody Cannoness and X-2 Phantom.

V2:
Slightly less responsive steering compared to v1, normal leaning angle, and increased braking speed. Includes files for the Bloody Cannoness and X-2 Phantom.

This is only a beta version to get some feedback.

I also recommend getting Shitface's 'Non-Greasy Motorcycles' mod, which vastly improves the 2 wheel experience by making it more difficult to get knocked off your bike.

Driving Technique: Since the responsiveness is toned down, I would recommend driving more like a car. Use braking or drifting techniques (before the turn) to take sharp corners at high speeds.

Install: Place files in the SR3 main directory located here...

64 bit systems - C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\saints row the third
32 bit systems - C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\saints row the third

Removal: Delete the following files from your install directory...
bike_bc01_veh
bike_cyber01_veh

this feels pretty good. better than vanilla! the side to side is still a bit twitchy. does this affect the Bloody Canoness DLC bike? i just got it and i can't be sure. i think it does not
 
Yes, it has been modified to the same values as the X-2 Phantom.
I think at higher speeds it's much better now, but maybe at lower speeds it still needs some tweaking. I'll try a few different things and see what I can come up with.
I actually tested the Kenshin out last night and it was still horrific, so I think i'll just focus on the Phantom and Cannoness for now.

Released a new version, give it a whirl and let me know if the Cannonness and Phantom are any better now.


Got to official release thread for updated mod!
