Swing arm wtf.

[monstermike]

Just bought a homemade +8

It's not set up for the dog bone

I Hooked up shock directly to the swing arm like the dude I bought it from did.

The bike is jacked up high now. And when I sit it squats almost to tires

I understand should get it revalved and sprung accordingly but won't that jack it up higher.

Pretty broke right now so an expensive shock can't happen. What are my options

 

Not trying to Jump it.

Lil bit of whoops

Dune and drag the hills mostly

Sounds like it needs the linkage on it

What shock are you running? What shock did previos owner use? Did you ever see it mounted?? Maybe post a pic of it, might help figureing it out.

[monstermike]

I got stock shock.

He didn't use stock shock

The mount for dogbone is welded upside down facing up. So I can't use dogbone I dunno what's a good move

R6 shock?

I only have my phone so dunno how to post pictures

[monstermike]

I read up some more on no link setups and that's what the guy had.

I just am not sure what shock works good with no link.

It's for dragging

And puts more traction to rear supposedly.

I'm just curious why stock shock jacks it high

I understand. Why it' sits low. Cuz the leverage =more weight

 

Real quick though what's stock shock length ?

I'm at work and lunch is over

It's probably set up for a Marvin Shaw. Some pics would really help us determine what is going on with this swingarm.

I post pics with my phone through photobucket. N0thing to it.

That's backwards. The mount on the swing arm goes up for linkage and down for no link. At least that's how mine is.
