Title: monoshock
Post by Bobbert on 06/24/09 at 15:44:51

I was thinking of converting my swingarm to a monoshock. It's cleaner looking, less weight, and has better suspension properties. Thoughts?

An average monoshock is about the size of your Savage shock except taller. Try one for size, is there enough space somewhere above and in front of the swing arm pivot?

Be sure to fab the upper mount quite well. Otherwise... big bump, monoshock compresses, upper mount snaps under all that pressure... POW!

Well, let's just say that some ER doc out there is gonna have a new, "Hey, guess what happened to this poor fella" story to share.

This is my monoshock on the SR project.
