Hey up

Anyone know the eye-to-eye length and stroke of the shock on a 2004 Mount Vision quad frame?

Same shape as this one:

Google isn't delivering

I have one, but its 40 miles away in a shed (with a cracked swingarm!)

Thanks!

Tim

Isn't the set up template full scale?

Thats a tara bike though (although admittedly its probably fairly similar)

That seems to show a 200mm eye to eye!

I would have guessed 190 or 200mm - pretty sure Marins have not used anything shorter, my 97 B17 was 200mm, 08 MV is 190mm & mates 06 Quad was 200mm.

definitely 160 not 200, I have a 06 Quad MV and my brother an 05 Attack Trail, very different shock lengths.

Give me a mo and I'll try and find the email reciept for my replacment shock, to confirm.

ok cool thanks

Either way, it looks like the stroke woukld be too short anyway - i need 51mm, and an MV is likely to be less than this.

sorry can't locate it, but would bet my bottom dollar on that size.
