nolink / link?

[375hp banshees]

+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]

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

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.

how do you tell if it's a link/nolink?

[375hp banshees]

if you use a link as a no link, it'll just over stress the arm & frame tabs or?

[locogato11283]

Link arm - linkage mount is on top

No link - mount is on bottom

Yes, the shock will be working against the swingarm and the result will be cracked or broken mounts.

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.

it'll b a solid strut link arm,  ran as a no link... just wanted info on angle do's & don't

[locogato11283]

Don't do it.

Mount the strut from the swingarm to the lower frame mount where the linkage would bolt up to. Its a more forgiving angle.
