spiderpig Posted August 1, 2019 Posted August 1, 2019 Can't remember if I've asked this before but anyway.. Looking a putting the top braced 750w arm into a slingshot 750. I know its a pretty straight swap but what linkage and shock should I be using with it? Don't just want it in but working as it should. Quote

W and slingshot linkages have the same geometry. but the bolt and bearing sizes are different. Iirc simplest way is to use the slingshot shock and w linkage. Then it all bolts together no hassle, Just need to sleeve the swingarm pivot. Worth running 10-15mm shorter dog bones to raise the rear is you want the chassis to handle really nicely. Quote

Goo'Roo Posted August 12, 2019 Posted August 12, 2019 Ratio at the dogbones is between 2,5:1 and 3:1. If you shorten them so much you'll get 40-45mm at the wheel that's way too much. 5mm is more than enough for me. Quote
