do a write up on the whilly bar plz that looks sick
It's not the strongest wheely bar in the world.
I used two upper a-arms and cut half way thru each one so they interlocked.
I cut the center out of the back of the skid plate. Then I cut the ends of the stock wheely bar and drilled them out to 4mm and used threaded rod with lock nut to mount the a-arms to the skid plate.
With the stock tower I used the holes that are already in the arms to mount the bottom of the shock. I mounted the top of the shock to the wing stay.
I also shorten the shock with fuel tube.
On version 1.0 I was using 3mm mild steel threaded rod as the axle, I used spacers I made from stuff I had lying around, to support the arms and the 12mm hexs.
The mild steel rod is just to weak for this purpose, I got sick of replacing it every couple of bashes, so I whiched back to the original wheelie bar.
While in the process of this build I came up with the idea to try using a stock savage big bore shock shaft as an axle. If this bends I'll try a Ti-Ni shaft, and if that bends it's back to the stock wheely bar.
With the lcg towers the shock was on to much of an angle to fit properly. The big bore spring seat is to wide to fit between the arms, so I made a couple of brackets to raise the mounting point above the arms. Hopefully they wont be a weak point.
One more thing, the right side nut on the axle keep backing off because of the direct of spin so I use two nuts locked together.
Hope that helpful.
I always do, thanks 88
what for Josh.
