front upper shock mounts?

 

[Chupaca]

There you go....

So much for the hint....the boomerang is a good one..:roflblack::roflblack: template for changing the return angle for left handers....:roflblack:

front upper shock mounts?

 

[DGoebel]

These are the Shock Relocator's that BK has designed, and the needed cutouts to clear the new shock angle. Right?????

 

[Peter Aawen]

Jeez, some are pretty quick on the uptake! Thanks for the pics Chupaca; & thanks Mike, I'm looking forwards to testing the Spyder out wearing them! :thumbup:

... I'm so pleased when the smart folks here " Get It " :clap::clap::clap:........ you're right on both answers ..... Mike :thumbup:

 

[Chupaca]

And.....

Mine are in the mail....:clap::yes: will test them and compare with the Pitt bull ones I currently have....:thumbup:

PICS ETC

Jeez, some are pretty quick on the uptake! Thanks for the pics Chupaca; & thanks Mike, I'm looking forwards to testing the Spyder out wearing them! :thumbup:

My earlier Bracket version, had a 4 1/4 in. :yikes:change ........ So when I had to trim the plastic to accommodate the Angle change .... I had to take more plastic so they would fit ..... I made new templates using a 3 1/4in. jar lid so I would get a smooth curve and taped them onto the Tupperware to show what would need to be removed for shock clearance ..... The upper Tupperware ( for a GS or RS ) when it's on the Spyder won't actually show the cut-out because of the angle of the Tupperware ...... Thanks Gene .......Mike :thumbup::thumbup:...........PS I'm making progress with the PICs thing .... These were sent to Gene's phone from my phone :clap::clap:

 

[Peter Aawen]

I've sourced my jar lid already :thumbup: But I do think there are some (minor ) differences in the plastic - mine doesn't have that raised air-flow deflector at all - not that it looks like that'll make much difference... the placcy bits on the 'A' arms still appear to need trimming to accommodate the more upright shocks. Easy peasy! :thumbup:

AIR FOIL ?

I've sourced my jar lid already :thumbup: But I do think there are some (minor ) differences in the plastic - mine doesn't have that raised air-flow deflector at all - not that it looks like that'll make much difference... the placcy bits on the 'A' arms still appear to need trimming to accommodate the more upright shocks. Easy peasy! :thumbup:

That was added to RSS models from the earlier GS model .... But they are essentially the same shape .... The upper piece of " Tupperware " , won't apply to your RT ..... I didn't get a tracking #, so I have no idea how close it is to delivery ???? ......sending a PM .....Mike :thumbup:

I installed Racer Tech shock relocation kits on my old Can Am Commander. They were amazing. Hope these do the same.

 

[wrb3004]

May I ask

What is the purpose of relocating the shocks? Just curious.

 

[BLUEKNIGHT911]

ANGLE CHANGE

What is the purpose of relocating the shocks? Just curious.

In brief - my bracket moves the shock towards the wheel from the TOP .... this changes the angle to a more up-right position ... according to a " Shock engineer " this increases the Firmness of the OEM shock .... ( this is different from STIFFNESS - which will produce a Harsher ride ) ... my brackets retain the OEM coil length because of the way I designed them .... ( too complicated to explain ) .... So under Normal riding conditions my brackets still retain the softer compliance of an OEM shock ( nice on a bumpy road ) ... but will provide MUCH better handling in the Twisties ... This is the best explanation I can give in less than 5,000 words :roflblack: ......... hope this answers your question ..... Mike :thumbup: ....... and NO - I am not selling them at this point ......

 

[Peteoz]

Pffffft. We KNOW you aren’t selling them, even without you telling us, Mike .....as if Aawen would use something that was generally available and didn’t give him an edge. hyea:hyea:

.....as if Aawen would use something that was generally available and didn’t give him an edge.....

I don't know what you're trying to say Pete?? :dontknow:

Me?! Stooping to add anything to my Spyder that doesn't make it go or handle better/faster/improve range.... what else is there to live for!?!

:roflblack: :thumbup: :joke: :yes:

Hope that you take pixs and a video, as we know that we will freeze in hell, before mike produces any.

 

[BLUEKNIGHT911]

PIS IN ......HELL !!!

Hope that you take pixs and a video, as we know that we will freeze in hell, before mike produces any.

Now, now Bill... I'm making progress .... the pics He posted were sent to Him by ...." ME " :clap:...... Mike :thumbup:

 

[Chupaca]

No video but....

If you go to my profile you will find an album (BLUEKNIGHT911 re-locators) with some pictures...I will still have to check/ test them and finish up the installation...
I did have the Pitt Bull re-locators so the increase was only 11/4" but this will make a difference. If you go from stock it will make a big difference...I also have Fox podium shocks so I will need to do some tuning...hang in there...:bbq:

Hope that you take pixs and a video, as we know that we will freeze in hell, before mike produces any.

 

[Peteoz]

I don’t know why anyone would bother with this mod, Mike:dontknow:......heck, for a mere $2000 you can get a set of Wilbers
