trex banshee Posted July 24, 2005 Report Share Posted July 24, 2005 i was wondering where i could buy a rear strut for when i drag race mt shee or should i just make it myself. also if i make it myself should i make it long enough to eliminate the dogbone linkage and just make to go from the frame straight to the swinger. i have a plus 4 swinger.

trex banshee Posted July 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2005 well i don't want to lower it, but thanks anyways man. i am just going to make one. also should i build it to hook from the frame straight to the swinger, or hook up just like the stock shock?

badcompany Posted July 24, 2005 Report Share Posted July 24, 2005 I run one straight to the swinger. I would just make one. The one that I run is a small tractor top-link, so it is adjustable. Its pretty heavy though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueshee03 Posted July 24, 2005 Report Share Posted July 24, 2005 wicked atv sells a real nice adjustable strut for a shee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racer Posted July 24, 2005 Report Share Posted July 24, 2005 to male thread heims, some solid bar and a tap are all thats needed to make an adjustable one. adj ones are made just like tierods in design. its just that the end links are setup in double shear. the tractor top link is a good idea.

badcompany Posted July 25, 2005 Report Share Posted July 25, 2005 Yea, just like a tie rod really. On our other bike I run Marvin Shaw struts just because they look better. If I made my own from scratch, i would use opposite thread heims so that you can just turn the bar to adjust. ALso, if you dont feel like making any, I would recommend these STRUTS. Ive seen these in person, they have alot of adjustment and they are top notch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
