« on: October 06, 2016, 12:23:06 am »

I am trying to buy new shocks for my 1978 TT which has a white bros swinging arm


The shock company have asked me the dimensions of a standard swinging arm and my dimensions for comparison


would anyone be able to tell me the following standard swinging arm dimensions:


pivot to shock mount

pivot to mid axle point


thanks

Tech Talk / Re: Chain tensioning dahhh!!!

« on: October 07, 2014, 12:11:09 am »

I have just recently joined this forum and have found this by using the search, I realise it is an old thread but this is exactly my issue

was this chain tension issue resolved, this is the worst part of my bike, the chain has to run way too slack to stop it over-tensioning when landing off a jump and a spring tensioner would simply push the chain up against the bottom of the swingarm

My next move was to maybe run a much larger rear sprocket (and front) to try and increase the clearance. I have contacted Talon and they say they can make a custom one ok. I have 14/52 but thinking 15/55

any advice would be appreciated

Introductions / new from Northern Ireland

I am from Northern Ireland and race the 78 TT 500 in our local twinshock races

I have had her two years and think she is the business.

Its a standard TT frame with a 465 front end and a White Bros swing arm

Its not a HL500 replica or anything like it, its a TT500 made better (well I think so)
