g4321 Posted December 17, 2006 Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 has anyone tried a modified swinginf arm on a 250 or 200 to allow shorter shocks to be used by positioning the shocks closer to the swinging arm pivot. I have a spare swinging arm and I am looking at trying this with some betors or similar, there is less chance of these shorter shocks bending if/when the bike falls over and the shock ends up lying on a rock!

jamie stokes Posted December 17, 2006 Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 hi i bought some falcons for my tl and i abused that bike to hell and back and the shocks were 4 inches bigger than standard so if i didant bend them i really dont think you will (my shocks were falcons made to what i needed and were Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old trials fanatic Posted December 17, 2006 Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 Cant comment on the swing arm idea but :agree: about the Betors. Talking to a guy the other day who was waxing lyrical about his new Falcons but i would sooner have a set of Betors and almost three new rear tyres for the price he paid for his alloy bodied Falcons. I know which option would beenifit me most in Trials. Then again i am crap and need all the help i can get Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
