    You may think about a Parallelogram construction to find best matching setup ?

    The force of the shock absorbers is pushed straight forward to main frame.
    No tube in between that may be bent by the forces.

    The shown frame is “far” away from that and in the end unusable anymore.
    German TÃœV would never accept it that way.

    Cheers, Michael

    That’s great information Michael and does not apply in the UK. Thank You. Try to keep the shocks parallel with the frame member Philpass, don’t make them too long or they won’t work properly resulting in a hard ride and maybe even bending the shocks.

    I think I have a spare one in my garage you can borrow 😆

    Had a chat last night n my feelings are you have an issue with your back end (have you seen the size of him?). Philpass as you told me last night each direction so far has been a cul de sac for you. Decide which path to follow starting with swinging arm. Once you have decided this we can see what help we can give. I can help supply a complete CSR style back end including wheel.

    Lets throw it over to the forum for ideas and opinions.
