RZBansheeMan Posted August 2, 2007 Report Posted August 2, 2007 I would be happy to as soon as I clone myself. I am in Dillon, CO on Freightliner's SUmmer Test tour of the western US. Then, I get to hang out at one of my operations in Denver for two weeks. If I wind working less than 100 hours per week here soon, I may look at helping out here. :biggrin: Jeez Firehead, What the heck do you do ? Quote

My old job was certainly alot sexier, but this new job has a better future. If I had a family, I certainly wouldn't be where I am at or doing what I am doing now. I will have to slow it down at some point though. :geek: Quote

squish Posted August 7, 2007 Report Posted August 7, 2007 Why did you use a link? With a shock that long you could have gone straight to the arm. Quote
locogato11283 Posted August 7, 2007 Report Posted August 7, 2007 how about some close up pictures?? im just wondering what you are really gonna benefit from this? i mean is it really going to be better than just having the rear shock re-valved and re-sprung? what kinda cost are you looking at there??

racer Posted August 7, 2007 Report Posted August 7, 2007 Maybe to get a really sweet shock ratio. Quote
FireHead Posted August 7, 2007 Report Posted August 7, 2007 he said he wanted long travle The problem is that it really doesn't get you much more travel, especially with the OEM link. IMO you are better off with a resprung and revalved OEM unit. :geek: Quote
RZBansheeMan Posted August 7, 2007 Report Posted August 7, 2007 (edited) The problem is that it really doesn't get you much more travel, especially with the OEM link. IMO you are better off with a resprung and revalved OEM unit. He did mention in the first post that he was using a 400ex linkage, but I am not that familiar with the ex linkage ratio vs. the stock Banshee linkage ratio. I wonder how well this shock set up would work with the ratio of an Elka link. Seems like that should be feesible to keep the cost down for a long travel conversion.
