I've been thinking about ditching the brain off my stumpy, has anyone change one to say RP23 since they swopped to the Y yoke fitting at the base of the shaft.
I guess you need to swop the shaft over. Any ideas on the lenght and stroke of the shock.
cheers

i think you can fit the fox shock from either a lower spec stumpy or even the rp23 off of an evo stumpy.
i ddint like the brain shock on my stumpy either.
that's my plan so i asked Mojo who were most helpfull
"The standard shock is a 200 x 50 and then when we fit the Specialized body the eye to eye is 197mm.
To fit the body it will be £101.00 + £36.37. This includes a full service and the Specialized body tube."
I like the brain, although I really wish it had a remote function as I don't like having to stop, get off the bike and change the setting.
I did this last year on a Stumpy FSR 2007
Swapped the brain for a RP23
should have been 197 x 46 but i used a 200 x 50 and gained 11mm travel
This was a recommendation from the guys at BETD who used to make the linkage arm that increased stumpy travel!
Mush better than the Brain!
Rob ~I dont think the 07 has the specil part attached to the shaft of the shock like the newer ones have though !
The forked part you mean?
No it didnt! was straight through the frame type, hense the fact I just got a bill from MOJO for a new Kashima shock service as mine had taken in too much dirt!
Done it with an '08 FSR, I used a Triad. IMHO they are better than an RP23
And cheaper - saw one go on ebay for £49 other day straight of an FSR bt 07 again - not sure if it was serviced though or knackered!
Question for rob13380 or anyone else: I am just starting down the replacement path for my 2007 FSR Pro - that came with the Specialized made AFR (Brain) shock.
I plan to get an 2012 RP23, just wondered if you went for the High or Low Volume and how that went. Anyone else have coments on this? I am about 175lbs all up including backpack.
Thanks.
