Clauss Studios rear shock mounts.

[Juan Kerr]

Good day.

Has anyone got any experiance of fitting the above mentioned part?If you scroll down this page a bit you will see it,the light blue box.

I have one on order,it looks a straight forward fitment,but are there any difficulties that I might encounter? :plemplem:

It look's a great idea in principal,the poor shock extension has been a bug-bear of mine for many a year.

Any comments would be greatly appreciated.

Edith fragt:Geht es da etwa um ein Breitreifen-kit?

Rear Shock to frame mount upgrade

After 20+ years on the road a weak area of the Vespa is the rear shock mount area on the frame cracking is known to occur in this area.My upgrade strengthens this area by adding an additional contact point requires drilling one hole to the side of the original.

Also When the stock mount does fail rider saftey is at risk creating a control issue and damage to the bike. I have heard of the shock puncturing out the back of the frame in one case !

There is a heavy threaded pin that is centered by strong urethane and encased in 1 1/2 square steel this is done as a fail safe measure .After years of use even if the rubber were to degrade the rear shock pin cannot escape the steel outer sleeve.

Now available $28

das könnte schon ´n geiiiles teil sein !

Just remembered I never came back with details on this thread,sorry.

Very easy fitment and seem's to stiffen up the rear handling a good deal.
