CAJUN BANSHEE Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 Just purchased a nolink +12 arch swinger and 12.5 frt and 13.5 rear shaws and I'm planning on dragging 300' on sand. My ? Is the bike seems a little high in the rear and was wondering if the lowering kits are ok to use or are they an accident waiting to happen. Opinions needed, thanks bhq brothers.

RadarRacing Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 On a no link rear you cant use a lowering block. The heigth adjustment is made with the shaw length. You can adjust it a bit lower by turning in the bottom heim if its adjusted out or by taking it out and taking the nut off the heim if it has one. The nut is only 1/2" wide but it will lower a no link +12 swingarm a bunch. Unfortuneately that will also change the compression and rebound dampening quite a bit just by having different geometry on the angle of the shock. Marvin shaw has revalved them for me for about $40 with shipping in the past if they were off by much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder how much difference it would make with a motot and you sitting on it Thanks bro, shees my pride n joy. I am hoping it will squat a lil more once everythings back on.

locogato11283 Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 Putting the motor in it should lower it down quit a bit. Then, you will be sitting on it. I wouldn't do anything until the motor is in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
