Dazon 150 Endro Classic Mods List.

Ok I think I have a plan for my suspension change. This is a 150 dazon raider classic with the endro package ( head lights, working taillights, blinkers, side mirrors etc. )

This is the stock setup.

and this is my new plan.
Red is the new bracing, and the Yellow is the new shock location.

I am going to take the dog leg completely off and use that bolt hole to bolt on a piece of flat steel. then I am going to make some brackets with fish mouths to weld to the frame (after i move the battery). the back of the fish will have a bolt hole to bolt the steel too also. This way you can still remove the motor mount frame to get the engine out.

I think this should work pretty good. Just have to check for the clearance needed to turn the shocks up like this.

I will need to make some taller shock mounts or longer shocks. Just want to make sure it works first before I buy the new shocks.

Thanks for any input.

Also. I will make a brace to go up from above the new shock location to the roll cage frame to brace for the new pressure from the shocks.

I don't think the location you selected to mount your shock is sufficiently strong. Leave the shock location as it is now and box in your swing arm (like Yerf-Dog, Baja and Tomberlin).

I can understand your wanting a longer/different/better shock and mounting location, but I think you need to look elsewhere for where to tie it to the frame behind the seat.

well looks like I am having to go back to math class to work out this suspension issue.

The chain is slipping when I have alot of weight on the cart or when I go in reverse. I have a double sprocket on mine so it isn't a wearing of the teeth type problem.

Is this what you are trying to accomplish?

Yes it will be like yours but I am not stretching my frame rail like you had to fit your massive beast in there behind the seat.

I doubt these factory shocks have that much travel between bump stops anyways.

I will just have to take some other pics and keep searching buggy sites till I find an equation or something to tell me how to work this.

Try going to the website for works performance shocks. They have a messurment guide and placement info.
