monoshock conversion cb350f
« on: May 13, 2009, 11:14:23 AM »
I just got inspired by this gallery

http://www.fullerhotrods.com/Galleries/galleriesview.aspx?gallery=d0d7c7ac7440493b8cc8418a0a05d5ba&category=2&action=show

Has anybody ever experimented with converting a cb350f, or any other model for that matter, into a monoshock?  The engineering wouldn't seem so difficult to me as finding a suitable shock.  Anybody have some insight on this?

There's a couple of monoshock builds going on right now by other members.  Type "monoshock" into the top right search field on the main page and they should show up.  One of them was by member "babyfood", or something close to that.

I have photos of 2 400f frames with a monoshock conversion back home, I will not be able to get them until early June though. It looked a lot like a Yamaha RD swing arm to me. I thought I posted one photo on the forum here.

Got put on hold a bit so I can get undertail v2.0 going, but this is still in the lineup.  Started the swingarm bracing and am still trying to map out the upper shock bracing.
