A modification package designed to eliminate the rear suspension of a specific motorcycle model produced in 1974, the product replaces the original swingarm and shock absorbers with a rigid frame section. This alteration creates a fixed rear axle, directly connecting the rear wheel to the motorcycle’s main frame. As an example, this kit may include all necessary brackets, tubing, and hardware required for welding and assembly onto the specified motorcycle’s frame.
Implementing this type of modification offers a number of potential outcomes. It can radically alter the motorcycle’s aesthetic, often aiming for a vintage or minimalist appearance. Furthermore, the altered frame geometry can influence handling characteristics and overall ride height. Historically, these modifications were pursued for stylistic reasons and perceived improvements in handling on smooth surfaces, though they generally compromise ride comfort on uneven roads.
