Hmmm

So I found these resy shocks on e-gay. they are 11" eye to eye and they will fit inside the stocker swingarm mount. Only kicker is they are a mono for a CRF or XR50 Honda dirtbike. While I could settle for some standard 11' rear straight rate or progressive shocks I wanted the "cool" factor of a reservoir shock...cause as we all know this all about looking "cool".

Anyone have any input on whether or not these would support the weight of me and the XS while also being stiff enough to not rub on the rear fender??

Thanks to Tom I was able to get this front end for a song. The deal was sweetened by adding the brakes and a custom made axle that will fit my 19" stocker mag...he said "no prob, I'll just throw some material on my lathe and crank one out for ya!". This way no rebuild is needed for the stock front end and I will get some killer braking power all run on the stock mag which really tickles my fancy.

Hmm...got me thinking, which is never a good idea

I like but sans the hardtail.
