Im trying to keep price down, is that expensive?jpmobius said:If you are ok with taking the shock apart, why not simply get the parts re-anodized in black?
xb33bsa said:how much wheel travel do you have ?
xb33bsa said:the measured rear wheel travel should be burned into your memory by now .you would have had the spring off the shock already many times and been measuring and figuring to get it right
sounds like you just started welding shit together without any design consideratations :-\
... anyway....what you want to shoot for on that lil bike is 4" to 5" max for street riding measured at the axle
properly set up suspension will at times,but not often, use all the shock travel and even go into the bump stop
unless you have longer than stock forks you want to have the same ride height as stock, a lil higher in the back is ok .pretty easy to make a shock shorter with a spacer inside
what was the shock off and is the spring rate close to what you need ?
it looks like you are going to have to raise the whole seat platform up as well,because the way it is now looks like it has less tire vertical clearanvce than stock
besides unless you are a midget that thing is gonna be extremely cramped
