I scored this Fox Podium rear shock from a Predator 500 locally for $70. Eye to eye measurement is 18.5". Yup, its goin on the zilla.
And with everything mocked into place. I'm still waiting for my JJ&A and a throttle cable. 14.5" of rear suspension travel with the Banshee style swing arm & link.
I think I may need to get a heavier "light" spring. With no weight on the bike, it actually sags almost 4". Adjusting the preload only collapses this spring more. Give me time, i'll make it right.
i nominate it for the most hybridized lt 500!
Stepping it this year Brian, I like it!
Nice a arms. Those look familar Cj, like that green shee.
I may try and get one of those shocks and do this conversion to a 250.
That Sundahl built shee had cross over arms on it. Brian's don't cross to the other side of the frame. I prefer how Brian's bike looks over that banshee,, even though that was a sexy bike lmao
I'm gonna go today to buy my new 4 lug Honda / Suzuki pattern wheels. My axle came in so I will be putting up more pictures of the progress again.
Bret, I got your e-mail. So far, everything is looking good.
