This is from the high leverage ratio when doing the conversion What you need to do is simply find a monoshock the correct length and have it custom built for the correct spring rate. Hello On the middle of converting a euro e model with air monoshock. Wanted to replace this old standard mono shock unit with more modern looking one. Would you please give me ideas on a donor bike to use their mono shock. Thank you Dale.

He's building an exhaust collector that will vent directly, without a tailpipe. I guess I'm at that age where I just want to go for a ride. Keep the good ones, learn from them and find a "project bike" to experiment with while you learn. I do agree its sad to see any rare original bike "chopped" and taken out of circulation.

They wanted them to go fast and all of their mods were done to achieve that end with the only nod to appearance likely being painting parts that they had drilled out so they wouldn't rust. But I think they are an okay project for basket cases. One, I have made to my own tastes and one that is being done to its factory standard. But It does bring a tear to my eye when I hear of a mint condition bike getting hacked up. Sign up.
