Direct Link Shock

Recommended Posts

In the past if i ran a direct link shock i always had the swingarm made for it. Metal tech would change the position of the shock mount and it would point down towards the ground, instead of the tabs point up where the linkage mounts. This makes the angle of the shock a little better. However i have a chrome swingarm now and was thinking about putting a direct link marvin shaw on it, and dont want to ruin the chrome by welding new tabs. Would bolting the shock to the swingarm with the mounting tab facing up be a bad idea? The shock would be more horizontal, and from measuring the distance is only slightly shorter. I'm just wondering if this is a bad idea for a dune bike? What are the negative affects of changing the shock angle?
