Swingarm mods for Swinger 3-way
« on: September 17, 2005, 05:05:19 pm »
As you can see from the pics, they're pretty minor changes. I've included a pic of the swingarm mount from the side, one that shows the clearance between the shock and the swingarm plates, one of the shock mounts that were giving me grief (see my other posting), and one of the whole shock as mounted on my 5000... As you can see, the bike is a bit dirty, but hey, it's a mountain bike!

I peeled my sticker off my fox and reinstalled it so the writing was not upside down, can you do that on a 3 way?  

- nice job.

OP
Yeah, they don't make 'em anymore - it's a classic - - -

Yes, I could, but it's not worth the effort to me. The sticker literally covers the entire shock body, and I'm pretty sure it wouldn't look as good after removing and reapplying it. Stickers never seem to be quite the same. This way, I can read it over my shoulder while riding... ;)
