Josh Z Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 I am wondering what is recommended for a no link on a hill shooter. Is it recommended? or no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandtazam Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 Personally, I like a no link set up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fast-Fibers Posted September 11, 2010 Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 What chassis are you running? I prefer the no link on a drag chassis and a link on stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandtazam Posted September 11, 2010 Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 (edited) whart the hell filter setup is that?...and i can't really see from the pic what that side link does. is it to keep the swinger square when turning? It's a pan-hard rod. With almost 200 hp it'll pull the swinger sideways w/o it. The filters are K&N on 55mm Packard Lectron alcohol carbs. The chassis is a +14" Lonestar and the arm is also +14". It's just a lil ol' 910cc Matoon motor. 8-) Notice it also has an outboard bearing for the front sproket. This prevents the shaft from flexing as well. BTW it's for sale. I'm getting to old to go that fast. Edited September 11, 2010 by sandtazam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh Z Posted September 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2010 What chassis are you running? I prefer the no link on a drag chassis and a link on stock. I'm running a stock frame for now. But pretty much all I do is ride to the big hill then climb it a few times then go home. Does it make for a rough ride or does it just put different strains on the swingarm due to the position of the shock? Thanks for the reply!

It isn't necessarily a rough ride, chances are if you are a drag racer/ hill climber you are running a stiffer shock any way. The no link set up changes the angle and position at which your weight transfer comes from. It is going to plant the rear of the bike out of the hole. There are so many aspects of chassis and suspension set ups that you are going to have to pick an swinger type and build your way around it with ride heights, shock pressures, tire sizes, gearing etc... There really is no right or wrong answer to what you choose, but there must be a reason that most of your drag and hill shooter chassis are built as a no link set up.....my 2 cents Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandtazam Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 (edited) Thanks for the complement. Do you know anyone with a NL you could take a ride on? I haven't ridden a link in so long that I don't remember the ride. You may also contact Lonestar or one of the other chassis builders and ask them what you may experience. when you choose shocks, check out Works shocks. they send you a sheet to write down aspects and measurements of the bike. This helps them determine valving, springs compression and rebound on the shocks. They were very helpful with the shocks on my other bike.

Call Tim at Stellar, he is very knowledgeable and easy to talk to. And best of all a site sponsor. Another option for shocks would be Marvin Shaw, give them a call and have them recommend a shock for your particular set up. They will custom tailor a shock to your machine, including the length for your desired stance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
