Upper Shock Mount

[dsb]

In SS, is it legal to replace the stock upper shock
mount with one that threads into the frame?

Thx

 Hey Dave, that would probably be a question to put directly to the offices in Ft Worth, just to be on the safe side. I quickly perused the book and saw no mention of your situation pertaining exactly to mounts. What bike are you running?

I'm prepping an '03 R6 for next season, I saw this
on one of the Graves bikes, and it seemed like it would make ride height adjustments much easier.
I just couldn't find anything about it in ths CCS rules.

     Back in the late 90's I had someone at the CCS Mothership tell me that if it's not listed as being legal for SS in the rulebook that it's not. I don't know if that generality still applies, but that may be the answer you will get. I am somewhat curious about this particular question myself, please tell us the answer you get. :)

Okay I spent the afternoon with Kevin and remembered to ask him about this he said it would be legal. We wondered if the reason for this was ride height adjustablity? If so most aftermarket shocks already have this feature and stock shocks you use shims to raise ride height. Personally I would not mess with the integrity of the bracket.

GSXRMike, according to Ed Key, who talked to Kevin Elliot, anything that is not covered in the rule book IS legal. The rule books states what MUST remain stock. If you meat those requirements, you're good for SS.

That's how ed key has a 310 lb SS legal bike.

      ;D LOL  ;D  Amazing how information from the information source itself can be 180* of itself!


     I was told that by someone in the old CCS administration (Rodger Edmonson era), that's why I was cautious about how accurate it was.

WERA rulebook states if it is not covered here you can't change it.

I remember reading that stock linkages and chasis components must remain stock, except the shock can be changed...

But buying a aftermarket shock would be the solution to the ride height problem as well as the quality problem.

Adding shims seems more sensable than threading the frame, I would image the load limit would be reduced on the structure, and maybe will fail in a crash...

aftermarket clamps and shock linkages are legal in CCS SS.
