Kr1000 Replica Build...

True - I could also use a bit of wood which might be cheaper and is my usual train of thought
I am manufacturing the upper and lower mounts so having a shock beforehand might be better though.

Appreciate the offer, if I get stuck I'll give you a shout

 

Spacers done today for the now centralised swing arm alignment

 

I think I have solved my shock clearance problems with a little purchase this evening - a Nitron NTR R3 Race Shock.
Just need PayPal to unstick my transaction - hate it when the say Pending for no reason

 

It's blue. No good.

Cancel that transaction, dude.

 

The spring will change, we have the power!

(Crayons)

 

This will work perfectly after all my dilemmas figuring out how to get the Penske unit to fit.

Tie wrapped on for now, a bit of frame surgery for the upper mount and swing arm chopping for the lower mount - this shock gives me the option to play with the reservoir mount and adjuster to look cool too

Spring will be plastic coated in a graphite grey I think I like it a lot

 

Cool, just as I'm finishing

 

Corrected

 

I'd just leave it attached with tie wraps. It'll be fine.

 

I meant finishing in 10 years dilbert

 

You'd leave the tie wraps, Creamy would chop it up with his Angle Grinder / geeze

 

I know, my comment stands.

 

I'll finish that bike in ...... 9
