I obviously need to get new rear shocks for my bike to raise the ass end up and preform better, wondering if I should just do a monoshock conversion for practically the same price as new shocks. Haven't seen a whole lot of info for this conversion on the SOHC frame I want to gather some of your thoughts/experiences, pros/cons on a conversion.
From what I can see is the CBR600F2 swing arms will bolt up with the obvious modifications to the frame for the monoshock to work.
Any info would help.
Ok slow your roll there chief....while on paper it looks like the same cost you aren't thinking it clearly. There is no monoshock "conversion kit" specifically for a cb750 which means if it costs say $250 for a cbr600F2 rear swing-arm setup with wheel and shock you still need to change the spring, the dog bones, tire, brakes, swing-arm bushings, sprockets, etc... so that costs money as well. Also You have to sit down and engineer the geometry of the setup which means evaluating the angle of the shock, the reinforcements to the chassis, the ride height, the sag, etc....and then you have to weld it all in. There are no pre"set" measurements for a rear conversion so it is a lot of measuring, cutting, welding, and advanced fab work. Of course you could just stab it in and set it up to "look right" but if you don't build a death trap it would be out of sheer luck.
For shocks, you can just call dave quinn at dave quin motorcycles, answer a few questions, spend $200, and have a set of budget but good shocks setup for your weight, ride height, sag, riding style, and then just bolt them on in less than an hour.
