Last night i took my shock off and the linkage. I started thinking about a no-link set up and i tried putting my stock shock on as a no link. Hell it almost works! All i need to do re weld a new mount on the swingarm, or get a different clevis to put on the bottom of the shock thats narrower.
When i mounted my shock, i measured and got an amazing 12 inches of travel! Is the 400ex or 450r clevis narrower? Anything that will thread on the shock so i can mount it. Amazingly everything was perfect, it didnt go down to far and hit the airbox or go up to high and look stupid. It was perfect.
The only problem is the valving is a bit off, the shock is slightly soft as it is with the stock valving.
So I was thinking about making a kit and selling it. It would include the modified clevis for the bottom of the shock, the valve and springs and modifying the swingarm if needed.
But thats not all, If could modify the swingarm and remove the top out spring in the shock and it would have almost 14 inches of travel!
Any of you think this is a good idea for the average guy on a budget?
