375hp banshees Posted May 25, 2017 Report Share Posted May 25, 2017 +8, sand drag only, stock frame, no link, adjustable strut: whats the differance in nolink / link swinger... ears on bottom? but is that for geometry or so u dont need such a short shock/strut?... can a link swinger be used as a no link?

bluebanshee98 Posted May 25, 2017 Report Share Posted May 25, 2017 It can be but the shock is going to at a cocked angle and will probably use around a 13" shaw but your gonna have to measure to see how you want the bike to sit 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locogato11283 Posted May 28, 2017 Report Share Posted May 28, 2017 Do not use a link arm as a no link arm. The shock angle on a no link arm is already fucked up enough. Using a link arm as a no link with further fuck up the shock angle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
375hp banshees Posted May 28, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2017 how do you tell if it's a link/nolink? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
375hp banshees Posted May 28, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2017 if you use a link as a no link, it'll just over stress the arm & frame tabs or? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locogato11283 Posted May 28, 2017 Report Share Posted May 28, 2017 Link arm - linkage mount is on topNo link - mount is on bottomYes, the shock will be working against the swingarm and the result will be cracked or broken mounts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tedder Posted May 28, 2017 Report Share Posted May 28, 2017 When we built our first asphalt bike we tried running a Marvin Shaw at full pressure on a no link arm but because of the shocks steep angle the hole shot forces would cause the back of the bike to dip hard and rebound back sharply making it a bitch to ride. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nightmare Posted June 6, 2017 Report Share Posted June 6, 2017 it'll b a solid strut link arm, ran as a no link... just wanted info on angle do's & don'tMount the strut from the swingarm to the lower frame mount where the linkage would bolt up to. Its a more forgiving angle. Sent from my LG-H830 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
