Rear sets

<< < (3/3)

Trigger:
Ewan, that is more than 3 inch.

Woodside:
Hi Ewan cheers for those pictures...
Just a quick one what happened to the original mounting brackets and connecting rods I'm guessing you got them in the kit,,,
I was wondering if they would still mount on the frame ....I don't have a LHS peg bracket on my bike anymore it was cut of before I got it so you method is out of the question. 
But a very smart looking bike you have there ...I did read about your issues ....would it be an idea to try some shorter shocks on to see if it gives you any wobble relief

Woodside:
Just looking at the pics of our bikes?
They seem to have a similar stance but

You can see how much lower my rear end is (no jokes please )
I have no issues at higher speed in fact if anything it really settles when you give it some  Welly !
With the mods to the engine it really gets up a hustle up too

And just a question for Steve the mod!...I'm not getting notifications of replies to this thread ..is that and issue at the moment ..so I can only catch up if I keep logging on..not a great issue as I pop in pretty much every night it's just a nice to know

oh oki doki  ;) ... micrometer ooooot ..... shortest distance between electrisc tray and tyre when on side stand is 3.425 inch, when sitting up right without stands its 3.35 inch. For woodside .... got longer rear shocks which is causing the front end prob !  Need the longer shocks to restore clearance at back end. Still got the tarzzi brackets and rods ...

Ewan, I do know a chap wo can make custom yokes from billett ally. Malcolm Shepardson @ Malarkey engineering, Bishops castle, not seen him in years but did do 2 weeks work experience there when in collage, got paid in the formof a cb500 sohc chop project, thinking about it that was my first taste of honda bikes and was rapidly followed by a few more cb550 k3s as the chop had 3 engines but not 1 clutch.... slippery slope.
