ronni pictures would be great, also could you describe the clearance issue with the rear exhauset in greater detail
My idea behind it was to be able to jack the rear up on the standard bikes or restore lost ride height in a 17 in conversion, and also being able to lower the rear if needed, had no idea it increase the rate of the suspension
cheers
so who's interested in a set?
fully adjustable suspension linkage

Re: fully adjustable suspension linkage
Spike, I personally think it's easier to just drill a hole in the radius arm it's the best solution to the problem.Spike16 wrote: My idea behind it was to be able to jack the rear up on the standard bikes or restore lost ride height in a 17 in conversion, and also being able to lower the rear if needed, had no idea it increase the rate of the suspension

It's not adjustable, but who frigs with the ride height once they have it right? Unless you're swapping between 17"nd 18" wheels (wets and drys) it doesn't really matter, and even then it doesn't make a huge difference to track performance. Ride around it!
No offence great idea, but better alternatives.

Re: fully adjustable suspension linkage
well I am going to be using 18 and 17" wheels for wets and dry's and if 5 people are still interested il make a batch up
and if there's no point in it why are all decent shocks ride height adjustable? Im just giving people the option to set it how they like it and not needing to turn their stadard one to swiss cheese in the process
been looking up costs and If i cant get turnbuckles made they will cost about £50 posted, if i can get a batch of 12 turnbuckles made up then the price should drop a bit, to about £40 posted but need assured cutomers before i can get a batch made
O and please dont bring physic's into this, im revising for my A2 physic's and come on here to get away from it!!! lol

Re: fully adjustable suspension linkage
Spike i have this linkage on my bike.It is very easy to built it. Very cheap and it works great.
But you can´t use a oem Honda exhaust system. The pipes hit the linkage.
Here is a pic fitted on the bike.
