Rear Linkage Differences

Hey there,

I have a track and a road NC30, they both have the later model shock with the remote reservoir, the linkages are different shapes and length but both appear to be factory. The ride heights are a lot different because of this. So I was just wondering if the early model bike had a different linkage? Can post a picture if it helps.

Thanks in advance.

Neil

The track bike has probably got the nc35 linkage as it raises the back end.

Cool thank you for that. You are meaning the steel link from the frame to the three point pivoting link?

If so then that's what I am also meaning.

Cheers

the dogbone is what your on about I believe

and the above answer is correct.. the nc30s are the same but the nc35 / rvf400 one is different as it uses a 17" wheel, if you put a 17" wheel on the back you need the link to compensate.

when people do this and re-sell the bike on they often sell the 17" separatly but dont change the links back, this will give you a jacked up ride height.

you can search the forum for dogbone measurements.
