Jeremy quick question about ktm shock angle

(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)


Posted by: cantrell24x---------------------

Hi

I am building a pw80 pitbike using the forks and shock from a ktm 65. The pw80 has a A type swing arm that mounts the shock nearly horizontal.

One reason I am using the 65sx shock is because it doesnt use linkage.

My question is about how the change in shock angle will change the "stiffness" of the rear suspension.

I am sure that the 65 shock is not setup for my 140 pounds, but hoping that the new angle might help.

What do you think?

Also do you sell springs for the 65sx upsidedown forks that will work for a 140 pound rider?

Thanks

Chris
