neil king Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 I know some people frown upon it, but I'd like to convert my TY350 Mono to a twin shock. Has anyone done it and can pass their wisdom on to me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twinshocked Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 Some of the UK boys have done 'em. Are you gonna ride it in the NATC? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neil king Posted March 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 I have a nice little Reflex, but I don't know when I'll get it running. The TY is a good bike and the brakes work really well, it sure would make a nice twinshock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete_scorpa3 Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 why is cheating appealling to you? I would accept a converted mono in the twin shock class, but if there was one protest , they would be disqualified. If that happens a few times, people would stop building them. Don't do it.

eddie_lejeune Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 if that's the road people want to go down why not just by a Rev 3 and stick a shock on the other side- you could even take the internals out of it so that it looked like a shock but in reality it just slid up an down, that way you could ride the twin shock series one week and world rounds then next Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogerroger Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 "Twinshock" refers to a class of machines, not a number of shock absorbers. TY Monos are not in that class, so don't do it - it is cheating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

old trials fanatic Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 Perhaps we should create a new class and call it Cheat shock ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a get a kick out of beating people on more modern machines and enjoy the bike for what it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil king Posted March 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 Our rules aren't that strict and it's not considered cheating. The only rules are; twinshock, aircooled, no hydrolics. There is a guy with an '04 315R with twinshocks, home made drum brakes(he's a machinist), and an engine out of a Banshee 4 wheeler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not really a victim, I knew full well what it was when I bought it. I guess I could pull the motor and put it in the Reflex, and use the wheels too while I'm at it.
