f3 ride height.....HELP

i was on a stock f3 shock this year and picked up a
foxshock for next year. can anyone give me some
starting numbers for ride height (eye to eye) and/ or any
other information that might help? had a great time racing
with you guys this year and can't wait till next year.
seeya, greg

 

Hey Greg Its Mike. I don't have your number in my new phone. The one Louis gave me keeps going to a fax machine. Give me a ring 467-2185 and I'll try and help out any way I can. Usually sag is around 25 to 30 mm. As far as ride height..I just kept raising mine until it turned the way I wanted it to without the rear wheel spinning up coming out of the corner. I'm sure there's a better way but thats what worked for me. Give me a ring..I'm free all day Sunday.

Mike

 

Greg,Im too stupid to link you there,but go to the bottom of the vintage page and search F2 suspension.There you will find my #'s,but dont tell anyone and send $12.95 to the Melchenator P.O.BoxBR549 In the Van DOWN-BY-THE-RIVER.
SNL ya know.Farley ruled.:up:

 

you rock dude, thanks

 

Good to see you again at GNF......looks like everyone is gearing up for next year. Hopefully some new faces too!

:up:

Don't forget to sign in on the smack talk thread, to be counted in.

Looks like your gonna be lonely, unless you make some SE rounds.

 

melch, is that 21 1/2" ride height measured with the
rider? i can get that as long as i'm on the bike otherwise
i come up an inch long.
dennis, i think your right, i'm gonna have to come down
and play with you guys next year. it'll be a ball. is it ok
if i bring BEER?

 

Always welcome............if your bringing BEER.

 

Did someone say beer?

What kind are we talking here?

 

You may have the wrong year shock,if so you just have to change the linkage,which equates to 1".Do you have any free sag??Ck.that first,but my guess is you have the wrong one which can easily happen since they will fit F2's and 3's.All F2's and 97 and 98 are the same.95 and 96 are different.


And yes that is without you on the bike.I think I have that linkage if you need it.

 

melch, my sag is correct, so if you can spare it i'd like to
get that linkage. let me know want for it.
again thanks alot

 

I need to know what year your bike is.

 

it is a now legal '96

 

CHEATER!!!!!!!

 

that VIN sticker on the side of the frame made it fast
as hell, think i'll get one for the other side and be
twice as fast

 

Does that mean my 98 frame i sfaster then the pretzel frame?

 

Ok........let's just make this easier. Who is NOT cheating?



...............anyone.................anyone.

Why is it so quiet around here........<cricket churp>

 

No names ... but when I attended my first GNF, I showed up with a stock bike and I was told. "If you're gonna run with us, then you're gonna have to cheat ... we all do, but nobody cares"

Granted this was pre-Skwid.

PS - my bike will be legal, so I all ready have my first excuse, besides my skill.

 

Someday, I want to have acheater part that helps me. All I have ever had work against me, but it was all I could come up with.

 

It's a superbike class right, where period specific items are legal? How can you cheat?

I read over the rules, and as far as I know my bike is perfectly legal
