Re: Fitting hrc rear linkage
Ok ive took it off the abba stand and there is clearance......well a fag paper of clearance lol. Im pretty sure this wasn't the case when i had it on my rvf so maybe the hole for the shock is bigger on the rvf as the swignarms are slightly different.
Honestly i dont onow if id be happy running it like this

Re: Fitting hrc rear linkage
I do not have an HRC linkage, but did buy a nitron shock/modified stock linkage from Rick and have no clearance probs on my VFR400. Since he adverts the nitron shock to suit his HRC linkage, Rick must know it works. Contact him for sure. He is a top bloke and will help ya out!

Re: Fitting hrc rear linkage
I did install my setup on an abba stand and there was no real rubbing problems during the install.

Re: Fitting hrc rear linkage
I know this was a long time ago but was there a fix to this problem?
I.e. HRC linkage + non-stock shock = spring tight against swingarm hole?
