Can you set up a camera and then timelapse this into a video?  Would be cool for us.  Probably suck for you, 'cause, ya know, extra work.  But again, cool for us.



Even with a fast time lapse you would be subjected to hours of me staring, scatching my head, and doings things over multiple times lol

M620 turned M800 but then back to M620 after the M800 died at 110k, and now to Multi 1000.

Do you mean of the i.d of the knuckle mounting points of the hoop and the length of the shaft that rides on the needle bearings? Yeah...was almost .5 mm, more than I felt was reasonable to pound it in. I carefully filed a few tenths of a mm from each side until I was just able to gently tap it in with a mallet...I think all is well.

It does need to move.  The original hoop didn't require a hammer did it?

Actually the spacer doesn't move. It's locked in place. The original hoop is sheet metal and will flex enough to lock the spacer. The needle bearings will provide the movement.

If someone has a spare hoop I'd be curious to see what that i.d measures out to. I sold both my spares.

Got it.

Dp is correct, the spacer should not move.  Leave it.

My next potentially stoopid question, or evidence of something stoopid I've done..

I'm concerned that this billet hoop is too tall for my Bitubo shock. I can barely move the swingarm up and out of the way of the front sprocket before I run out of room. It looks like the chain/sprocket will rub the swingarm, if it will even move at all. Is this simply because there is no weight on the shock and once the tire is mounted, and the rear end is on the ground and loaded all will be well? (see last pic)

That shock looks to be too long.

What's the measurement eye-to-eye?

That's what I was afraid of. I actually posted on this subject awhile back because of an anecdotal tale I'd read regarding a Bitubo shock.

I'll measure it tomorrow, but what's odd is it worked just fine with my steel swingarm. Was using a normal OE hoop but I had super long 25mm spacers/risers.

I have almost exactly 13.25" center to center.



Thoughts?

The Ohlins DU-440 for that bike is listed at 330mm.

It works fine on mine with a stock hoop.

Maybe 375 is pushing it I guess.

So that makes Nate's Ohlins 3/4" taller than even mine...and although I don't have a stock hoop I did use this shock previously with an OE hoop and 25mm risers.

I don't guess I'll know until the bikes on the ground, unless someone else has an idea. As it is, with all the weight on the engine the swingarm does not clear the sprocket.

I'm not trying to worry too much about it, I'd just hate to lower the bike and be in for a "shock" when I'm ready for my inaugural ride.
