benspeed888 Posted April 16, 2012 Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 anyone done or heard of this conversion? it looks pretty close to me and would give you a rear disk and tubeless rim if you use the tyz wheel (which for me would be the point of the conversion) thanks Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hop blip and a jump Posted April 16, 2012 Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 WHAT ABOUT THE BACK END FROM A SCORPA SY?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benspeed888 Posted April 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 WHAT ABOUT THE BACK END FROM A SCORPA SY?? thats a possibility i suppose, but obviously a fair old job as you'd have to make a mount for the scorpa shock that runs without a linkage. i could make the mount but i would imagine the scorpa shock, swing arm wheel and brake set up to be out of my price range at the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kuelmuel Posted April 17, 2012 Report Share Posted April 17, 2012 Personally I'd keep the stock swingarm and suspension but fit the TYZ wheel and fabricate some form of mount for the disc caliper. Can't be all that hard... I've been talking about doing it for years along with the front wheel/front disc from a TYZ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seth29 Posted April 17, 2012 Report Share Posted April 17, 2012 There is a lad in the north west that has dun this to his ty and he has used the damper as well. It looks bang on and rides well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddie_lejeune Posted April 17, 2012 Report Share Posted April 17, 2012 I have it done to mine, I bought an old ty swinging arm off of ebay and wleded a bracket onto it. I also had to weld brackets onto the frame to mount the rear master cylinder. Basically I done it to save the hassle of cleaning out a brake drum. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dougalthedog Posted April 17, 2012 Report Share Posted April 17, 2012 You need to speak to Pete at Promonty porourke100@btinternet.com (i think) He has done loads of front and rear end conversion on the TY Mono Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andy m Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 There was a part converted one (project) at Telford, I think the back end was fitted, it was for sale in the hall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
