Shockies


Decided not to modify the frame backbrace or shock mounts and was glad to find shockies I like and the right length. Old originals were 32.5 eye to eye and these are 27.0. Drops the back and makes the front "rake", more obvious without cutting and welding.

Thought this bracket was a bit heavy duty, but very happy with the solution to mounting the peanut tank on the "A" shape, bracing the frame and pivoting the seat all in one. Will look good powdercoated.
