Title: DR650
Post by: Expat on June 17, 2009, 07:42:34 pm

Does anybody know of any MX bike rear shock which can be retrofitted into a late model DR650??

Looking for something a bit more adjustable.

I have an article in an old ADB about a DR650 set up for riding finke or the Australian Safari. I cant think of the riders name. im sure they fitted RM suspension. i think i know where that article is so i will have a quick look now  ;)

well i just found what i was thinking of. It was Andrew Norris' DR650. march 94 adb, issue 174. Bad news is that there was not the info i was thinking of, just a small snipet/interview so that means i have to go through boxes of old ADB's to find the older article where there was info on the set up and mods of Andrews bike. im 90% sure i remember reading they fitted RM shock and forks.

At the moment i cant say when i will get a chance to look

Yeah Vince Strang is mentioned in this article so if you contact him he should know what was done to Andrew Norris' safari bike.
