riffraff Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 Hi guys. I wana do some mods on my ty. I am looking for dimensions and so on. I wanted to do rear shocks mod. Foot peg and possible the steering angle.. I have quiet a few stories about these but can't find actual measuments ie how far to move mounts and so on..can any one point me in the right direction?

tony27 Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 The frame for my C model isn't here at the moment but from memory the mounts are moved down about 75mm which turned out to be almost exactly the same placing as a majesty, this wasn't done on purpose but happened when I got the seat rails level after the steering head had been steepened up by the previous rider. I don't know what the angle of the steering head is now but the wheelbase was quite a bit shorter than standard & keeping the front end down was a problem, I'm having a set of shedworks swingarm lengthening plates fitted at the moment to correct this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riffraff Posted June 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 So mayby putting a steeper steering angle would be good...75mm for those rear mounts sounds good man..wonder if shorting the swing arm is nessary then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guy53 Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 I don't think that if you '' close '' the steering it would be a good idea, on the contrary you will have to do the oposite by at least 25mm. Guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swingarm is plenty short standard, when steeping the steering head angle the wheelbase does become less which is why the plates from shedworks are being fitted to move the axle around 35mm back which will put some more weigh over the front wheel hopefully. The shock mounts on the swingarm aren't touched at all & the cut is angled exactly like feetupfun did to his swingarm in a previous thread, when finished you wouldn't know it wasn't standard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
