Something like this for the weekend sir?

Still not a patch on Eck's 225's though :shock: :shock:

Gc

 

[saltyman]

well, the shivers already have the 205mm adaptor on it, as it was running them. im thinking 205mm rear/225mm front :twisted:

its a huge bike, so huge discs wont look out of place.

You may find you have a little too much fork on there.

How'd you mean? :?

You thinking that 8" travel on front & 4" at the rear is a bit............... wrong? :?

rear should have 5'' - 6'' soon, fox float rear shock on the way next week with some luck.

custom built brand new set of wheels coming next week too

rear XT mech on today, forks fitted and new star nut in, waiting on a short stem to finish off.

then brakes.

heres what it would look like with a 8'' rear rotor. still loads of room with the swingarm.

 

[MHF]

looks good :d

if you put 190mm on the front and the longer shock on the back it will compensate it, BB will go up a bit though which should be good fun.

How long is the rear shock eye to eye?
