Alternative rear shocks
Posted: |September 6th, 2012|, 1:24 pm
OK guys i dont know where my last thread went, maybe sits still in the moderating list however i need some help.
My BikefarmMV triangles appear to be lowing the bike not raising it. A Lot. Ive even tried all orientations for bolting it up with no luck at any Jack up!
I just spotted on Gumtree an Ohlins adjustable shock off a Duc 851 which has been rebuilt. Model # du8071
It runs 335mm between bolt centres , 83mm OD on the spring, 10mm bolt sizing and is set up for a 80kg bloke.
What do you think?
Am i right that the stock shock is 305mm between bolt centres.
If i run this longer shock with the "lowing triangles" do you think it will work??
It might still work with the stock triangles? who knows how much raise it will give!
