Does anyone know of a cheaper alternative to the £40 Suzuki price tag for a rear shock lower eye bearing? It's a 750G.
I sacked the original shock off years ago so haven't got any measurements to go by either...
My own lower eye was shocked when i saw that price ......
Cheers

The whole linkage/ knuckle affair is different. Slingy's use dog bones too which the slabby doesn't. Have a look on parts diagrams you'll see the differences for yourself

Nice little article on soup ....

other option given the cost of exhausts is to go to race craft (I think that is the name) and have a custom one made. When risk had his made I do not think it was much more than an aftermarket and was stainless to boot!

Mark, do you mean exhaust craft? Wasn't he a member on here or old site?
Agreed tho, Racefit are rather bloody tasty ....

Was speaking to Tony (Cosmo) the other week & he mentioned he was using a later arm in his slabby.
Curious to know how he solved the linkage issue, he said he cut the front off both arms & welded the slabby front to the later arm, thus keeping the slabby linkage & pivot set up as is.

11 side, anybody give me a pointer on what engines that I can't buy up, given the finite cut off date of end '91. Am I stuck with 1054 or could I slide in 1127?
Someone will correct me if I'm wrong but 1127's are '89 onwards I do believe .......

Glad to be able to help matey

Swinging arm pivot is the same on both (I've had both arms in my 750) @ 235mm with end caps.
Linkage pivot is 45mm on both arms.
750 arm length centre to centre is @ 570mm (750G)
My 11 arm is extended so can't give you a true measurement on that.
I know you said linkages later but forgive me, I'm on a roll...the bearing set up is different on each linkage. The 11 has a bearing in the eccentric bit of the linkage as opposed to it being on the 'ears of the arm' on the 750.
Trusty exploded diagrams will explain
750 arm
1100 arm
750 linkage
1100 linkage
Hope that helps you out

Afaik if you got the complete backend of a Slingy, you can bolt it straight into a Slabby. Not tried it myself yet, but that won't be long.
Will the different linkage set up not cause issues/ swearing/ throwing spanners?

looking great .... Did you ever get your k2 clocks working in the end?
Randomly stumbled across a build thread of yours on overclockers the other week whilst waiting to pick my lad up from train station....... Fortunately his train was very delayed

Great stuff.... I had an airfix model of a Kat as a yoof & that's as far as I got.
Are you still based in Eastbourne?
Scrap that, just looked at your profile

It'll pull right out

will check later on mate.. must admit i hadnt tried adjusting the cable!
This is the adjuster that FBB was on about turning out, don't worry about cable adjustment till you've sorted out your pushrod length

Fantastic, hello & welcome along

Gets my vote, but then I do seem to like all the bikes you've put together over the years

Got an early K series (1000 tho I think?) on my slabby 7/11. An evening in the garage with a bit of jiggery-pokery (read pulling pushing & grunting) should see you right..

Nice!
Well I found a R1 arm for £16 which promptly met with my grinder. Just need to get a new flap wheel to get the old weld off....
Job for this weekend

This is of interest as I've mucked about with various combinations of 750 & 1100 linkages & swinging arms.
I'm going back to stock arm & linkage though I do have K forks so it turns in quicker anyway with the reduce height. Take it you've dropped your forks already..
With you you on the firmness tho & no matter how much adjustment it was never enough ....

Can only see a set for the suspension linkage on there, shall give them a call though..
Yeah that's my back up plan.
