Interestingly the shock, rod and rocker are sold as an upgrade kit in the 2005 accessories book part 96845103B |
and on from what gizmo says.............looking at the part numbers for the front end..... the actual offset tube is the same 749r/999r....it appears the yolks have the slight difference, with both the top and bottom yolks being different part numbers. |
so after fitting this does back end of the bike sit lower?? i have still got the standard 'r' linkage/tie rod been think about this also but unsure of the benefits, i have the 05 ohlins rear shock which has different bump stop i think? not sure of the change over earlier ohlins rear shocks? (sorry, dont mean to hijack!) |

No mate. Its got nothing to do with ride height...........that can still be where you want it. Its about levers and moments. The movement of the rear wheel as it rides over an uneven surface, how this makes the swing arm go up and down which in turn moves the tie rod and shock. Imagine closing a door by pushing on the outside of the door. That is easier to do than pushing nearer the hinges, but obviously takes more distance to achieve the same amount of door closure. |

totally different system as well as the fork offset Andy, notice the extra eccentric tube in the centre of the 749R |
yeah i saw that.........presumably you could get that seperatly as well... |

I havent checked the part numbers but would assume it forms part of the Ohlins race fork kit you can get in the DPP catalogue to match the rear. If you can't buy it as parts would it fit other forks, with different upper and lower crowns it might not, you can maybe buy the whole triple assembly..... That's the problem altering one end of the suspension, it needs to have the same improvements to match it at the other :( |
Is it worth doing?I've converted my BP to a mono,but as i understand it unless i can get the ride height adjuster and the linkage it won't work. |
