different size shocks

[billyxxx]

hi guys well my pit bike has 645mm forks and 280 rear shock . i was just wondering if i could put 730 mm forks and 330mm-350mm shock to raise it ? or is the frame just suited to them sizes ? btw its a 125rr frame will probably get new frame soon anyway if it wont . cheers have merry x-mas

nah that would be wack.... you need a new frame, and unless you get the midsized DHZ crf style... you'll also need a seat tank and plastics

o ok cheers DvDRip

dvd why would this be whack? With out seeming like a full on retard I dont get it... wouldn't making both shocks bigger just balance it all out anyway?!

 

[billyxxx]

thats what i thought but ?? im not sure thats why i asked ?

 

[rach88]

hrmm all i can think of it the swing arm would end up in a weird position from the bigger rear shock... hrmm maybe the bigger forks make it look like a chopper!? mehh i dont know.. but im verrry interested in knowing the answer!

 

[DvDRip]

the frame is ALOT shorter than a midsized... like a pitpro 140XR or DHZ140 for example

the swingarm would face down like crazy, the bike would just be completely fooked in the handeling department.... it would just be WACK

 

[jordzan]

you gotta lengthen when you raise as well or youll mess with the handeling/rear shock angle etc. imho!

 

[sean01]

yeah the longer shock in the rear would fuk up the suspension geometry. plug the angle the swing arm would be on would be crazy..

it would handle like a pig...virtually unridable i recon... kidney bashing bump steering pig

ok thanx for clearing that up guys

EDIT: can u put smaller forks and rear shock on the midsize frames ?
