Cbr rear shock

[great white]

GW, how about welding a plate with a 1/4" or 3/8" fitting on both the shock body & reservoir?  Then run your braided line as needed between both. Or am I too far off point?

Nope, not off point at all.

That is what I listed as "last option".

Happy to see this little project. Lately, things have been pretty banal here.

Kudos to you!

I was just sitting here mulling over my options, and a thought struck me: maybe see if I can move the battery down into the space behind the shock and above the swingarm.

That might allow me to mount the stock style RR shock without altering it.

Maybe I'll take a little stroll out to the garage an "eye ball" it for a bit.....

Well, that thought died a quick and unceremonious death. Not enough room to move the battery down enough to matter....

Quickly shaved out prototype one of the reservoir adapter/spacer:



Angle is a little too tight, but the big fact that became evident is that it will be very difficult (almost impossible) to weld that inside corner shut.

So, I'm pretty sure at this point I'm going to have to abandon that type of spacer. I have few other ideas, but I have to let them sit and stew for a bit....

On my R1 conversion I am using a Honda 2013 1000 RR shock with a "stiff dick" reservoir.  I cut the battery support tang off, and also cut the battery box in half, height wise.   I have a loth ion battery for an R6 with is less than half height of an FJ battery and weighs about 15%.  Sorry lost the pics.   My bike is a 3XW.

I've got a 1000 RR shock here as well.

I'm trying to avoid messing with the battery since mine is a new AGM.

I'm not objectionable to a smaller battery, as all my bike does is local running around. No need for extra capacity for accessories and other assorted farkles.

Worse comes to worse, I'll just shelve the whole project until the battery needs to be replaced...
