It does, if youre able to find it.

that solution should be strong enough, seen them used in vintage road racing to raise the rear


main problem is that it elongates the shock all in one go by something like 20-25mm... multiplied by the leverage should be 50-70mm at the wheel and thats quite a bit... and no adjustability



Havent done this in my bike but i would try to implement a solution like some bikes have, for example zx6r of a threaded adjuster so you can choose how much to raise. will need some engineering ant thought, but not rocket science

Thanks for your tips and suggestions much appreciated.

Im going to fabricate this part at a metal shop, but i've not been able to find how's its installed, does it go under the shock, or on top?

the simple raiser block fits on the top of the shock


for the threaded adjuster, that part you see fits the top shock bolt.

youd need to do some design thinking of how to make the part that the adjuster goes thorugh and attaches to the frame.

How can the threaded adjuster fit with this system?

it's not a "bolt on" solution, so not really for newbies or if you are not comfortable modifying/building your own stuff.


the threaded bracket should fits like in this pic to the top of the XT shock.


then you will have to design the new attachment of the threaded rod to the frame. I have some ideas how to do it, but currently I am working on other projects, so no a high priority for me right now.
