eBay specials from China Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So it's been a while but have moved house and aquired a garage so today was the first time it's been sort of resembling a bike again, still a ton to do but you get the idea Let rip Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Shock was from eBay And I have a couple on offer if they suit your build Ducati monster Sachs or a Triumph speed triple Thread wise the images were ripped from Google Search for monoshock conversion and look at images then link through to the threads for there , I don't remember any...

The top brackets are 11mm thick stainless steel and there will be 2 welded side by side and a brace straddling the frame at the same point to hopefully address the twist. The reason for the mono conversion may well be lost on me know as it was half design (without a clue) and half twisted and...

Thanks I already have plans for the swing arm brace so will get cracking on the brackets and measures then tack it all up and get some photos Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hello chaps Assume my plans stand up to review and should move on to tacking brackets and running the shock with Spring on and ratchet up to the bumper Cheers Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Lash up number 2 with pictures this time With this set up I have 7' of travel as suspected and the rear wheel hits the seat rail before pulling into the bumper full on Here it is with the spring on for reference The ride height is 33' which feels right for my height and looks about the...

Is it the welder ? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The ktm duke rear travel is listed as 135mm which is 5.3 inches. And the shock shaft without the bumper is 4 1/8 inch Might be worth mentioning that as this shock is bigger than the Ducati I am moving the top mount to the seat stay rather than the position in the previous set up - I don't...

7inches on the front Gonna be a while before I get to welding so will run another lash up session and take photos for review Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ah bollocks didn't realise I had to pull right into the bumper, I stopped as soon as I hit it, oh well I can test that out when I tack in the top bracket before finalising the bottom end. No pictures as when I stood back and looked at it, it was like looking at a Heath Robinson cartoon and was...

Hello gents I scored a new shock from a ktm duke ( roughly same dry weight as my SP give or take a few kg's) and lashed up the brackets. Whipped the spring off the shock and measured the travel to bumper which is 6 inches. Then measured each inch of travel and got the below table If I...

Thanks X The swinger bearings are still originals but will definitely get some new modern replacements What is SLR and abbreviation of ? And yes fun is being had, and picking up on the learning, hope to get some brackets tacked up in the new year and see where that goes, also halfway through...

Oh here's a photo of my plan which offers a good 6 inches of travel Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks for the info, I have Had a rethink and am now looking at putting the mono on the right side so that I can do the maths right. The new shock is a Sachs from a Ducati monster and has a 170mm spring at 130 n/mm. All I need to do now is work out the brackets and angles, which to be honest is...

Thanks dualero The shock I was using came off a triumph street triple As far as ditching the monoshock I am considering it but as the original twin shock frame backend was in bad shape I opted for this current plan. So am sit g back and having a good old think. I am still trying to get my...

The stock SP370 did indeed have gas / oil dampened rear shocks according to the manual. It does not state the rear travel tho so I'm guessing somewhere between 4 and 5 inches Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ha, it's not taught anywhere as its been metric all my years and honestly had no idea imperial decimal breakdown was such sorcery. The shock is from a triumph speed triple and the original are long gone (rusted beyond recognition) hence the mono conversion escapade (along with rusted and bent...

Converted to decimals, yes the 2/16 is essentially a 1/8 apologies for that I am not used to measuring in inches. And yes the shock only has 1 and a half inch of travel with Spring off. Thanks for this, proper learning curve here and enjoying every minute Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
