Title: Mini Bike Suspension? Post by: GregP on April 03, 2009, 06:23:40 PM Is it ill advised to mount a shock upside down/reversed?
Got an Ishock (Ohlins of mini suspension ;D ) for my daughters TTR90. The shock is specific to a CRF50 but the length and spring rate are perfect for the TTR. The shock does not fit unless I turn it "upside down". It is actually reversed as the shock is almost parallel with the ground when mounted. The shock seems to function fine in this position as well.
