WOW Simon!! That's great! (applause)

Some Q's...

Did you try a few different link shapes (with regards to hole positioning) before you were happy? Or was it a "this'll work" kinda thing? I'm interested in how you determined what you have now.

That's really great work. I'm looking to do the same thing with my ride, in an attempt to get more versatility with the rear shock. The only difference is I don't have the aluminum-only swing-arm as you do (yes, I AM jealous!). I'll have to stick with the seat-stay (strut?) in it's original position where it mounts to the swing-arm.

(applause again)

Hi Frankd3000,first welcome to the site.
To your Q's
Origionally my idea centred around using the swinglinks from the origional vector forks that came fitted to the 856 but these turned out to be too short(checkout the postings will and terry 856 update also help shock wanted),
I'd love to say this was all scientifically worked out  [smiley=laughing.gif]but I just mainly made differing templates untill I came up with what I think is the best solution,all this has been made a home with basic tools,hacksaw,files,powerdrill etc,you can checkout my gallery (Simon) for some of my other mad ideas I've carried out,
Simon.

VERY interesting. I'm very interested in hearing how it rides. Congrats!!!
