Title: Rear shock Adjuster bracket
Post by: captaincaveman on March 09, 2014, 08:31:29 AM
Has anyone on here removed the rear shock adjuster bracket?, i take it, it won't affect the frame at all as far as strength or anything?

Is kind of in the way and just wanted to check before i cut the welds :scratch_one-s_head:

I don't think it would effect the frame but it is doing no harm. I would just clean it up and paint it. You might find those bolt holes handy sometime.

Other idea is make a box to bolt to it for storage ? Or a plate for relays etc..

Yah chopped mine. One of the many things I've done that have reduced the weight of my bike. And clean it up a little. Since it's so under powered. It's @ least 45lbs lighter than stock.

This is it so far, genesis front and rear, remus 4into 1, blue spots, new saddle, hagon shock

eventually it's unipods, cbr mirrors, dog bones, larger oil cooler and eventually a respray
