I'm more talking about leverage angle

Which means ..... ??? [S

 

[bighroder]

Getting it tore down for paint and final welding

Coils mounted

The swingarm is 9 over stock so when you mount the shock flatter it makes the shock harder to compress giving the shock more leverage over the longer swingarm and my fat ass siting on it

Hopefully getting it running today

Sorry, but it simply doesn't work like that. The more laid flat the shock, the easier it is to compress. Strongest would be with it at 90 degrees to the swingarm.

But, as the swingarm moves up the leverage changes gradually too, so laid just slightly forward of vertical would be best for your bike. Like just about every conventional twin shock bike ever made.

Try it and see what happens, it may well work great with those heavy shockers.

I love them CB motors, and the skinny rubber, and that oil tank. Not too sure if they all work well together, but I have a feeling it will be a good looking radical bike when it is all together. Wouldn't it be a boring world if we all built bikes to conventional design.

ETA: ****, I just scrolled all the way down and it IS together in the last pics. Cool![cl

It would work like that if it were moved further away forum the pivot like most bikes...but it is stiffer the way I have them mounted the shocks are really soft to begin with
