oh yeah i forgot to tell you about that... so youre using the old 230 link, right?

 

no i needed a shorter link than that, i dont want to have to buy i longer brake line so i cut the 250r one down and welded it back together.Thus positioning my caliper in its more upright position.the link is only about 6 1/4 eye to eye now.

 

hmmm... not a bad way to save yourself from buying new brake line haha... but just how upright is the caliper? past 12 o clock?

 

right at twelve. do you have any idea where i can get bushings for that shock. i will pretty much be done after that other than the airbox. trying to still run the factory one

 

wow dude youre moving pretty fast with this whole thing! think u could post some pics??

as far as bushings go, i cant really seem to find any straight from works... but if you got some good measuring calipers im sure you could find some on here:

McMaster-Carr

just go under "power transmission" and then under "rod ends and joint linkages", then under "ball joint swivel bearings" im sure there in there somewhere, and probably for less than what works would want...

 

got a quote from works today at 18.50 a piece for nylon bushings plus shipping i said no.So i made my own today from a piece of nylon my dad had about an inch thick, i will post pics when i figure how to send them from my phone. The shock mounting setup is really pickin my brain i cant find a setup im happy with. the lower hoop will not work because the shock body hits the swingarm. the other setup using the more rearward mount gave me too much seat height around 35 inch about as high as a stock kfx700. what is a good seat height with driver weight included. ps im a "trail rider"

 

seatheight should be anywhere from 29-32"

35 sounds a bit high

 

is this seatheight 29-32 with the rider sitting on the bike if so what is it unloaded

 

im pretty sure its unloaded

 

thanks when i weld this mount its going to be pretty permanent thats all just want to make sure its right the first time
