Bansh-eman Posted October 4, 2007 Report Posted October 4, 2007 No it will bolt to the exact same spot. Just now your swinger will have 6 more inches hanging off the rear of the bike. So you will have to get your shock revalved for the extra leverage Quote

So you will have to get your shock revalved for the extra leverage My bike has a +4 and I like it and the spring is cranked all the way down, but it feels fine when I ride and jump. What difference would I feel (and this dude with the +6) by getting it re valved? Quote
05Special Posted October 6, 2007 Author Report Posted October 6, 2007 I did a big booboo... I cut the swinger before the j arm mount...haha well I learned the hard way..I custom made a brracket going across the swingarm.. It will definitly add strength.. I have the shock held up right now with threaded rod so I can move it to my buddy's house so I can weld it once zI get the correct pin to go through the mount.. I'll post some pics is the morning.. Not a bad fix I don't think for an oooops. I'm sure there are a few others out that have made this same mistake. Maybe I can give someone an idea if they happen to do the same as I.. and remember.. THINK BEFOE YOU CUT.... Quote
