Converting A Mono To A Twin

Featured Replies

I know some people frown upon it, but I'd like to convert my TY350 Mono to a twin shock. Has anyone done it and can pass their wisdom on to me?

I have a nice little Reflex, but I don't know when I'll get it running. The TY is a good bike and the brakes work really well, it sure would make a nice twinshock.

why is cheating appealling to you?

I would accept a converted mono in the twin shock class, but if there was one protest :crying: , they would be disqualified.

If that happens a few times, people would stop building them.

Don't do it.

if that's the road people want to go down why not just by a Rev 3 and stick a shock on the other side- you could even take the internals out of it so that it looked like a shock but in reality it just slid up an down, that way you could ride the twin shock series one week and world rounds then next

"Twinshock" refers to a class of machines, not a number of shock absorbers. TY Monos are not in that class, so don't do it - it is cheating.

Your a victim of owning a bike that at one point was ahead of it's time. Now, unfortunetly it's way behind.

Exactly . Just a get a kick out of beating people on more modern machines and enjoy the bike for what it is. :crying:

Our rules aren't that strict and it's not considered cheating. The only rules are; twinshock, aircooled, no hydrolics. There is a guy with an '04 315R with twinshocks, home made drum brakes(he's a machinist), and an engine out of a Banshee 4 wheeler.

If I could beat anyone I'd get a kick out of it!

I'm not really a victim, I knew full well what it was when I bought it. I guess I could pull the motor and put it in the Reflex, and use the wheels too while I'm at it.
