Fitting hrc rear linkage

[MARSHnc30]

Hi guys sorry got more questions I got a hrc style rear linkage and nitron shock from Rick o I have just fitted it but can't get to fit with out it touching the swingarm it's driving me crazy !!! Anyone got any ideas if so would be most appreciated.

Contact drunknmunky on here he's fitted one, he's in Kent too

I've never used the nitron shock to be honest i heard they got it wrong but then i wouldn't imagine rick would be selling them if they did. How long is the shock?
I can post some of one with a ohlins shock set to 315mm but you cant really get fitment wrong, well atleast i dont think you can, you have both parts of the linkage dont you?

[MARSHnc30]

Hi Tony yes got both parts of the linkage I'm sure the linkage is on the correct way don't think it can be fitted any other way !! The shock was one that Rick said I needed !! The measurement from the centre of each hole is 310mm but lookin at the shock it might be able to be lengthened !

[Drunkn Munky]

Yes i tried the recommended 310mm length first amd even for a shortarse like me it was too low, is the nitron length adjustable?

[MARSHnc30]

Oh really !! I will have to ring Rick and have a word with him it think it's adjustable!! Well I hope it is otherwise it's a expensive paperweight

[Drunkn Munky]

Easy enough to tell it will have a threaded bottom fork with a locknut if it is. As i said rick knows his shit better than most on here so im sure its fine

[MARSHnc30]

Just been in the shed the shock is adjustable in length but still can't get it to fit properly it's like the pull arm dog leg thing that comes with the hrc linkage is too short !!

Put a pic up of link arm,are the sleeves all present(sorry if I sound obvious!)should just all bolt on easily un less something is missing.

I had mine fitted to a RVF and used it no problems however........Yakama now has it and ive just fitted it to his VFR and yes the spring touches the swignarm with it up on a abba stand, is this the problem your having? It certainly didnt touch on my RVF as the spring is mark free, very odd but i'll have a play when i have a bit more time and get back to you.
