I wanna TT my CR500 link'd Laeger...whats my options?

[HondaATC500X]

Its all full long travel stuff right now...I want to get it setup for TT/short track racing. Do I have any options for the rear to get it lowered down? Since the frame is CR500 link too...I can't run the stock linkage or the no link because of the 5/8inch offset. Has anyone ever had shocks shortened before? I wonder if I could just have another CR500 link shock shortened a bunch and run it?

Also, what about shocks in the front, its long travel PEPs on T-pins right now...can I run a stock shock from anything else to lower it down ors the fronts gonna have to be custom too?

You can shorten up front and rear PEPS' internally but they will need revalved and sprung for TT.

Yeah...I was looking for some sort of a replacement mainly cause I just had all 3 of these rebuilt and its got very little ride time on them, that was like a $600 job with the parts that needed replaced so I can't really afford to do that again right now. I figure the rear shock is probably a propriety CR500 link that I can use a shock from anything else...but how about the fronts?

Good question-I'm not sure the length of shock you would need due to the LT front end. I have a mint used CR500 rear shock you can buy to convert if need be. Call Seth @ SF Racing -he can give you better options for the front. 309-208-4877
