Upsidedown shock

[Caseys 300ex]

Can you put a shock upside down if it has a piggyback resevoir?

[dg26]

why would you want to?

well i want to get a rear shock for my 300ex but since it has a piggyback resevoir i cant put it on without modifying my frame. So i was wondering if i could put the shock upside down.

More than likely still wont fit, but no reason you cant that I can see.

Alright then i might try it.

yeah i don't see how it would hurt anything upside down

Maybe get some shock covers top help keep dirts and water out of inside, because its it upside down.

This isn't a good idea I wouldn't chance anything!

[Over-land 450r]

no u cant Because the top of the shock has an eye. and the bttom of the shock has to slide over both sides of the linkage.

300ex's don't have linkages

your air box will hit the ressie. trust me. If this was possible. Dont you think that people would be running them?
