suspension length???

[GREEDO50]

how long is a stock CRF50 rear shock- from hole centre at one end to hole center at the other end???

AND

how long is a stock THUMPSTAR rear shock- from hole centre at one end to hole center at the other end???

I just wanna know how much travel distance there is between the two...

Someone help, Thanks.

[gloverfmx411]

crf travel is 2.8in (70mm) dunno bout thumpstar

[eichkay]

The rear shock on a CRF is 260mm hole to hole center and the thumpys are 275mm center to center

[GREEDO50]

thanks dudes,

eichkay thats exactly what i'm after... so its only 15mm longer.

thought it would be more...

[eichkay]

yup yup, mininal difference in length im running a 260mm on my thumpy at the moment tho. Lent my stock rebuilt shockie to a mate.

[GREEDO50]

still, i'll gain more than 15mm of travel because travel is the distance at the wheel...
it gets increased by the swing arm length...

i got a stock thumpy shock for $80 new, to go in my crf50...

better than getting a heavy spring because its longer and costs the same...

let ya's know how it goes...

[GREEDO50]

Screw it.... doesnt fit.. hits the sub frame on each side.

gonna get an Ishock... is the standard one good?

Whats so much better about the one with a resivior (spelling?) ???

[twofiddie]

the one with the resivour (sp???????) just keeps the "feel" of the shock for longer

[GREEDO50]

i'm gettin a standard ishock and a set of Applied fork springs put in...

and new fork bushes too...

[ALLEN]

ishock with resivoir is only $291 on fmxaus shop.

[GREEDO50]

I Think You Meant 3 Not 2... 391
