REAR TUBE-SHOCK CONVERSION—"EASY-MOUNT" TYPE
FOR ALL TR250, TR6
"Compare with "Structural Type" Found in the Following
Section"
There are several tube shock conversions on the market. The one listed in this
section is billed as "Easy-to-Mount," and certainly this is true, as the upper brackets
simply bolt to the frame brackets in which the lever shocks are originally mounted.
My only fear about this arrangement is that leverage may be placed against the chassis
frame in ways for which it was not designed. I do, in fact, know of one person who
ripped the rear suspension cross member loose from his frame using this conversion.
Truth to say, however, his frame was very rusty to begin with. Obviously, making
sure that components are in good shape to begin with should be the basis of any type
of high-performance modification.
