mono conversion
Details on the mono conversion?
this bike is the same bike i raced in the 70s my father had done the monoshock conversion using the original xr swing arm with lots of weld work
with all my winging at the time for a redline frame or a PK mono it fell on deaf ears but hats off to him for doing the mod
problem was that after sitting for many years unrestored the swing arm was toast too rusted and looking at it with my adult eyes it was quite rough
so solution came by way of research and measuring,the alloy arm on it now is off a chinese 250 bike like a Zongstin
the original koni shock was also too far gone so i substituted a ebay shock and got YSS suspension to do some rework on it
the only mod i had to do to the arm was to mount a brake say point for the arm
the rest remarkably fitted up like stock bit of spacer playing to get the rim to be central ect
on the frame under the seat, a welded plate was fitted to accommodate the top mount of shock
thats still all original
