Just picked up my ohlins fork cartridges and ttx rear shock. Had to get different link to make it work.

Nice!! Mine will arrive Monday. I have a race next weekend so I can’t get the carts installed in time.

What is the difference with the different linkage? @EL_BOMBERO ?

 

[Brendan_23]

He went with a short shock that has a shorter eye to eye(I’m assuming Triumph shock) than the factory. The linkage changes the geometry to make it ideal for the track than going to get groceries like the bike was originally intended.

Which cartridges did you go with? The R6 ones or ?

[SeptemberToob]

Awesome, thanks for the detail. Can you share the specific Robem link too, Is it the one for FZ07?

Got my forks installed last Friday…still waiting on shock, they say May?!?

 

[EL_BOMBERO]

Just installed the rear ohlins ttx shock and links. That was a pain in the ass to do. The dogbone link bolt had no room to come out. Had to remove rearsets, bracket, kickstand and loosen swingarm. It's pretty close to horder airfilter and subframe. Fingers crossed that it doesnt touch anything.

Bend that bottom bracket up that’s above the reservoir. The one rounded end will dig into the shock.

 

[EL_BOMBERO]

Can you show me with a pic or two?

 

[Brendan_23]

Yes i will this weekend. I’m not around the bike at the moment. You can also cut the rounded edges off and should be fine but when the rear starts to squat it will make contact. I know from experience lol

 

[EL_BOMBERO]

Ok, thank you. I will take a look at it tomorrow.

 

[Brendan_23]

I bent the front of the bracket upwards on both sides so the rounded edge would stop digging into my shock when the swing arm gets loaded up

[EL_BOMBERO]

Ok got it, thank you very much for taking the time to get me a pic. Much appreciated

 

[sizmtrz]

How much did the shock / linkage bump up the rear ride height?

 

[EL_BOMBERO]

To b honest I never measure the difference.

I had to cut the bracket off at the track this weekend. I bent it up as much as possible. It was still hitting. I used a handsaw to cut it off.

 

[Vansmack]

Is this the problem bracket? I've looked at it a couple times, and it just seems like this whole bar needs to go, unless I am not looking at the correct thing at all.

 

[Vansmack]

That had to be fun cutting it off with a handsaw. I have a Milwaukee M12 die grinder that I picked up not too long ago for such needs, and I cannot believe how much I use that thing. That, the 3/8" ratchet, and a small drill/driver, I don't know how I ever lived without these tools. LOL
