I quite fancy one of these.
3 varients. 750, 900 & 1200 below.


They sound awesome.

Just as a matter of interest.....to me anyway. On purely mechanical terms the more upright a rear shock the more efficient. When you get to 90 degrees to the motion of the rear uspension then they are totally inefficient. Is there something I am missing?

They are designed to work that way?

Knowledge of the principles of leverage?

The shock might look like it is at 90° to the motion, but it is not acting at 90° because of the swing arm mounting point. You do not need a strong spring or a lot of suspension travel to equal that of an upright spring.

Oddly,
I was thinking it is neither one or tother
Mounted flat sure, mounted upright, sure, cut about 30 degrees from flat just seems odd

I thought these springs were tried on other machines that resulted in cracks in then frame

Yes... Jealousy.

OK then, seeing as you've poo pooed that idea.
How about this. Took me all afternoon
& I'm aching like a mudder wooker.
Angel eyes fitted on the headlights.
Go on... See if I care & yes I know my
garage is a sh@t tip.

What? Yes I know.. I spelt variant wrong.
My bad.

You could make it look better by hanging yer jacket over it.

I assume there's a motorcycle somewhere behind the funny looking robot.
