so ive seen the posts as for lowering our bikes. but im interested in jacking up the rear some..

searched and didnt find anything, anyone know of a way to do so?

 

f4i rear shock

 

thats all it will take?

 

you will need a different kickstand with the new shock
(or use a block of wood till you find a kickstand)

 

because of too much lean? or what?

 

well yes the bike would fall over before the kickstand would catch. but im from jax fl aswell so if you do it let me know how it works

 

The F4i chock fits right on to the F3. But i had to remove the center stand, because it got in the way of the chain... and i made a small bracket for the kickstand, sow i didnīt have to modify or get a new one...

 

sweet. do you have any pics of it all together? my bike didnt come with a center stand, so thats already taken care of..
do you have to mount the canister on that side? it wont mount in the normal location? and is it a strait swap for the shock? or do you need the linkage and dog bone?

 

You cant really see the difference on the pictures, but you defiantly feel it when you get on it... I was surprised how much i was raised..

Below is a pic of the bike with the F4i shock..



Here are the two shocks. You can se that the F4i is a bit longer the the F3. You can also see, that the line to the canister is shorter on the F4i, and thats why it cant be placed the same place as the F3īs.. Maybe you can find a better place for it. I just put it there "temporary" (Temporary thing have a tendency of becoming permanently :-)


Pic of the F4i an the f3. And yes it is a straight swap. All you need is the shock.


Just a pic of my setup :-)

Hope that helps you.. If not, then feel free to ask :-)

 

awesome thread, plan on doing this to my f3 now!
