I will take the result of combining this piece's front half eccentric shock pivot height adjustment, and overall lightweight skeletal design:
(
888 SPO and Corsa/Race Suspension Rocker - NLA Part - Bearings are located in special hoop - also a NLA Part and rocker is pinched around hoop - 2 eccentrics - NLA parts - adjust shock pivot location and thus bike's ride height - keyed to incremental values with locating bolts/screws - pinched with threaded studs and locknuts)
With the integrated 'aft' side bearings of this very similar piece:
(
OEM 851/888 & M600/750/900 Suspension Rocker - Bearings on "hoop end", hoop pinches around rocker, fixed shock end)
In billet aluminum, anodized, with eccentric adjusters, more robust pinch bolts, and all bearings/sleeves included (if not pre-installed).
(
Voila! A lightweight 888SPO / Corsa ride height adjustments adapted to the rocker design for all 888/851 SBKS and M600/750/900 through 2001! Thus, owner could upgrade to adjustable ride height and reuse the OEM swingarm and hoop or aftermarket equivalents. Likewise, ride height could be adjusted/reset if using an eccentric chain-adjuster swingarm like Metmachex. Best part: No more arduous process involving custom threaded rod-end male/female adapter spacers or partial rear-end disassembly to make adjustments to both sides of the heim joints! And spare parts available for those owners who have an 888/955 SPO/Corsa model and like to ride it, but have boned the original pieces - any of the 3 major components - that are no longer available)
What's that Chris, you would need to see these parts first hand to copy the designs and improve upon them? Just send me your mailing address and a discount on the first one made. To clarify, if need be, here's the general idea, except made completely from billet and with internal bearings (rather than the hollow aluminum spacer pictured)
