What Kind Of Suspension Are You Running?

[ReycleBill]

Here's a photo of my shock, what kind of suspension are you running?

 

[Ghetto]

Here is mine...

I usually prefer the bright red suspenders.

Oh, you mean on my bike...................stock OEM shocks in the rear.............33 years old and working great.

 

[ReycleBill]

So it appears that both of you are also running Regressive Suspension products.

I shop around for nice used aftermarket shocks. My bike came to me with some pretty nice Made-in-USA Pro-Lift shocks. They have 3-way internal damping adjustment but the chrome on the springs was shot. I swapped on used BMW black springs and aluminum alloy spring covers .....

Eventually I scored some nice used Konis and they are on the bike now .....

The front end got tapered bearings, Mike's progressive springs, one ounce more fork oil than stock, a fork brace, gaiters to protect the seals, and will get Minton modded damper rods this spring. Out back, besides the shocks, is a TX750 swingarm.

The bike rides well and has a very solid feel to it. It wasn't like that when I got it, lol.

Seat springs

I'm running the black and chrome 12 3/4' Monza sport rear shocks from mikes on a TX750 swingarm with needlebearings installed. up front i'm running a fork brace with progressive springs from mikes and 7 oz of oil. the block and a half i was able to ride it, before something shit out on me, it proved to be quite the firm responsive ride.

it even handled great while i was pushing it home

I'll be running a monoshock suspension using one of these:

You ditching the leaf spring?

Nope, this is going to be a new build with an monoairshock connected to a YZ125 swingarm for rear suspension. It's going to be interesting......

I was going to say.... I will give you my address! lol

 

[ReycleBill]

Interesting, I'm also collecting parts for a monoshock build. I got my hands on an XT200 that is very close to what I need.

My suspension

 

[grizld1]

Suspension mods? OK. 1. Unsprung weight relief: Brembo full-float brake rotor on titanium fasteners, titanium brake caliper bolts and chain adjuster nuts and bolts, aluminum wheel bearing spacers, plastic front fender, drilled chain adjuster blocks, hollow rear axle. 2. The usual--tapered roller bearings in steering head, needle bearings in swingarm, Daytona tweak bar on forks. 3. 18/2.15 front rim, Race-Tech emulators, Traxxion Dynamics custom 0.8 kg./mm. fork springs, Works Performance custom alloy-body gas shocks (13.25" eye-to-eye).

I have the Monza Duel from mikesxs. However, I have measured them several times and they are 10 inches eyelet to eyelet. Even got a funny look from a friend when he measured them. For some reason I ordered 11.5 and now have 10". Either way they are rock hard.

 

[ReycleBill]

Anybody take a close look at the first picture?

 

[BigJimmyW13]

I'm pretty sure everyone saw the regressive picture and disregarded it. At least I did!

 

[Dogger]

I have a set of Mikes 12.5" progressives and they rode like a rock until the seal blew out, now they're getting smoother.

It was meant to be a joke... That's why I was surprised when it got moved from the lounge to the garage.
