Hi people

Iv been having trouble fitting a linkage I modified recently to raise the rear ride height up to where id like it so it feels a bit more like my race bike.

the linkage iv used has the hole redrilled 15mm further along the linkage, the issue im having is with the nc30 linkage should I loosen the bolt where the shock mounts the linkage and re-do at a different angle? to allow for the change in dog bone size?

also im finding the excess material on the end of the dog bone fouls on the standard system, should I just cut this bit off?

cheers guys

15mm is too much Spike, doubt it will fit.

It should be closer to 8mm, perhaps 10mm max (centre-centre measurement from original hole).

Do remember that when rising the back, you change the suspension geometry, particularly the chain tension required. It'll be slack as a 2$ whore at rest, then pull tighter all the way through the suspension stroke.

ok so 15 was a bit optimistic? not to worry il get it re-done

Yeh I know what im doing changing the stuff, iv raced there 400's for 2 years now but each of my racers has had a longer rear shock and I just want the rear ride height to be similar to my racers as they have killler handling.

Cheers

15mm - that'l sharpen the steering up a bit.

haha yeh well im also doing a 17 rear so that will drop half inch, point take will back to drawing board and get a 10mm one made

Cheers

Think it might be easier to just buy one from Rick Oliver. That way you know its the correct.

Id love to buy one but all of my $$ goes into racing, im fixing this thing up on the cheep for the moment while I start my placement, its a proven mod just takes a bit of time to get right which I dont mind if its gona be free :)
