I would normally post this under our part of the forum but this is pretty sick:

Who needs shock mounts?
That can't be good:

All happened right after EuroWerks so we'll post our pictures and the outcome of the event later!

Are you guys going to make taller upper shock towers to correct the shock travel length?

My guess would be the rear shock travel was so short that eventually the stress of banging off the bump stop, or running no bump stop, eventually ripped the center of the shock mount out itself...


I can't imagine it rides very good if a bump blows out the rear shock mount.



As someone said it might be worth the time to raise the rear shock mounting point. This will give the same low but will actually give some shock travel.

Holy shit. Still curious if this was accidental or not.
