Rear suspension mock up, I HATE waiting for laser cut brackets to come in, so I took my sheet of 3/16"s and some cut off wheels and flap disks and made my own brackets... yet again :crazy:

Now I want everything adjustable, that way I can play with my settings, but again I didn't want to wait for my brackets
so I made these too, then ran out for the other side

Needed to space it out to match the axle side

The bolted extra bushing for spacer and ran out of material for the night

The plate is for JUST the top link, and allows 0*-10* change, 5 positions, all I need to do exactly what I need.

nice choice on going with a satchel link in the rear... that will keep your rollcenter low and fixed.... should make a huge difference in feel and controll over the oem frame.... and good work btw...

yes sir, I played with every design I could and satchell ended up winning for best overall. I wanted to get a little more triangulation out of my lower bars, but since I'm setting up air ride as well I don't want my bars much shorter for fear or wheel movement. Should be ok though.

Progress is coming along which is good to see.:thumbsup:
That's some good work man. :cheers:

As you can see here the holes I drilled on a 25" radius (same as bar length) no need to re thread as I adjust my bar angles
