Bought this on eBay. Got this far via a disk cutter and couple of sketchy seat mock ups. Not sure about either.
From sought after to scrap in a few hours.The current trend of "grind before planning" has "point of no return" plastered all over it.
Free to collect when I'm finishedOhhh no words... can I have the exhausts before you cut them up... !
Yeah, nice quote but when you're talking about cutting shit out of motorcycle frames and converting shitty twin shock frames to mono shock the time where you fail is usually at full throttle and it can be game over. Try again may not even be possible.Read this somewhere - Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better. Kinda liked it.
Here's guys who likely will sell you all you need to build a Pileocrap from a nice bike.any thoughts on earlier questions re implementing mono-shock conversion
Just as the woodsman said, that design has no more flexible junctions then the original stock setup, the heim joint connections are only there to make the geometry of the whole thing adjustable. Probably because the creator was faced with the same questions as yourself; what spring, travel and shock absorption rates are required to make it function. The Kinetic kit really isn't a mono-shock conversion, it's a rear shock relocation conversion only if it still utilizes 2 shocks simply mounted higher and forward on the frame. Handling is probably not improved in the least considering the shocks they are using, probably handles like a pogo-stick.Re: Kinetic Motorcycles suspension conversion kit - Absolutely NOT what I want.
I can not follow the logic of the design - so many flexible junctions in the configuration. One size fits all maybe? ...
If a smart guy was to mount an eccentric adjustment on that lower link, could make the bike ride height adjustable B)The one shown in Trial's GIF, would be relatively easy from an "attachment point of view", but that's assuming a few things. Then you would need a front end to match and you still end up with something that flexes around the swingarm pivot points, steering head and everywhere in between. From a 600RR
