what linkage to use with axis rear shock

[Out_Sider]

what linkage is there for an Axis rear shock with a +1 1/4 swing arm, all i know of are the gt thunder and elka..any help is much appreciated

Custom Axis will send you a link of "thier own" if you buy their shock. Really the link is a GT Thunder link. I just ordered the Axis rear with link, should be here next week sometime.:cool:

gt thunder is where its at!

thump it, would you mind telling me the cost of their rear shock and linkage, and also how much total did all of the suspension parts you bought cost, burgard parts look really good, could you write up a review of how the products worked when you get them all?

houser makes a pretty good link too

[Out_Sider]

would you have to use a houser swingarm with there linkage?

I was just checking it out, houser's site says that it can only be used with their swinger, but if their swinger will allow for the stock link I don't see why it couldn't be used with another swing arm that takes the stock linkage also

i've seen people with houser link only on a yfz and i'm sure i've seen it on a 450R you may have to call them and find out but I know for a fact that you have to buy their air box riser kit for it I'm getting my stock shock revalved and resprung to dual rate zps with their linkage or i would have gone the houser P.E.P. direction

walsh has their own link as well

ok if you are going to buy a new swinger then a custom link will be needed unless provided by the manufaturer. GT Thunder can do this but will need some very specific measurements from the swinger. also a londer swinger will need a new shock which will then need to be valved for the link/swinger and rider combo. your best bet is to pick all your parts from someone that can make a pakage deal for you so that it is all set-up properly. i would give Laz a call at GT Thunder first though and talk to him.

Out_Sider, call JH Racing about the price of the rear Axis shock with link. He will give a good deal. I will put a review and pics of my bike when all is said and done.
