Title: Hardtail struts Post by the_greek on 07/04/07 at 23:00:57 I have seen a few pics here of savages with struts to make a hardtail, my question is what are the dimensions for a set of struts that give me the lowest ride in the rear. It seems like I read a post from someone that said that they had installed struts that were 9.5 inches from center to center on the eyes. If you have struts and have a pic that would be a helpful reference when posting the dimensions thanks. |

I chose 10.25 as that gave a stock ride (not seat) height |

Title: Re: Hardtail struts Post by WD on 07/07/07 at 13:16:08 I bought a set of leaf spring lift shackles to make struts out of. $15, all I have to do is enlarge the bolt holes a touch. Gets rid of the "dirt bike" fender gap. Watch the mounting lugs. Struts WILL break them off eventually if you don't reinforce them. -WD |
