Test ride - bang - broken suspension picture

[Zedn]

I don't see any form of bump stop.

This system removes the jag bump stops from upper arms. This is a G-force yes? I wonder if there is anything on the lower arm.

I was planning to eventually convert my kit to be the same (mine uses full jag front end). Bump stops are something i hadnt thought of. Also i think if the shock mounted more like it does in the jag (between the upper control arms) it would have less preloading. But that would be a tight fit.

Rebel, i wouldnt be worried about having the same shock, probably more the way its mounted. Thats one of the problems with shocks. It only has to be slightly out of square and puts huge loads on the components.

Zedn the pic depicts exactly how the RMC front suspension is installed and I suspect g-force is the same.

I have however fitted my shocks with top and lower seats sized for a 60mm ID spring.

Some local RMC owners have modified the top mount to make the shock more vertical as some-one has mentioned but often involves using different upper arms to provide clearance.

It is a trap for the unwary that spax shock seats are sized for 57mm ID springs.
