  2. I find that if you take your drawers down before lettin' loose with the bladder juice, that damp part goes away eventually.

    I'm not trying to beat up on the try, but are we damping the up and down movement or trying to take care of body lean? I once ran my 32-5 W with out front shocks and it didn't even know they were gone. Point is won't make much differance.--TV [​IMG]
     
  4. It ought to work as well as the old Hyd lever shocks [​IMG]and that was and IS good enough for some of us!

    well do they work?
     
  6. I think you should weld the front end solid and let your body absorb all the shock. Try that, it should work. [​IMG]

    Look at the pictures.
    The upper and lower eyes are PARALLEL.
    The shock CAN'T bind.
    It's that simple.

    Unk, I'm not sure what universe they are parallel for you, but those shock mounts ain't parallel in the pictures I'm looking at. [​IMG]

    The difference has been taken up by squashing the rubber bushings.

    I admitted that they will probably work, just not very well. [​IMG]

    if it comes to rest on the first rebound and everything seems smooth i don't see any reason why it won't work okay...

    you can always change it later if you want/have to.

    well folks I didnt get to drive the GB last night due to a personal issue.
    If the shocks dont work itll be an easy fix. Ill just use another style upper mount and bring the shocks up higher giving them a better angle
    thats for all the input...and not once was I called a fag or papasmurf [​IMG]

    Ah, could the plungers on the shocks bend?, mebbe lose all hydraulic pressure due to a break in the seal around the plunger opening? Just wondering, nice creative idea.

    P.S. I thought anything less than 45 degrees was a no-no.
