Hello,

I am gathering parts to restore a TZR125 2RK. I currently have 90 % of the parts needed (the previous owner has started to build the bike). Not sure whether its just because the tyres could do with more air in them, but it seems to sit quite low at the rear. I like my bikes to be a bit higher at the rear; Ideally I'd like it sit 2 or 3 inches higher.

Has anyone changed the rear shock on this model to raise the tail. Is there a shock from another model that goes straight in ? I've a spare swinging arm and a contact at a local engineering company who could probably weld in another mount to make the rear sit higher but I didn't want to resort to such drastic measures if it can be done easier.

Any replies would be appreciated.

Cheers

Go to projects" Nev has a resto in progress,,,

dunno about the possibilities but be aware that if you raise it significantly it will lean over very heavily on the stand!
