Yeah, I was looking at your photos and I see what you're saying. But our swing-arms only have one pivot point and there isn't a lot of room in front of the rear tire to add a mount for the base of the proposed monoshock.

You could possibly weld some mounts to the bottom side of each swing arm side and then custom build some dog bones and come through the bottom of the old battery tray and then make some sort of bracket for the top shock mount, but I think it's a lot of work for something that is only going to result in unproven suspension characteristics and might not even work. I mean, if your welds aren't perfect or the alignment isn't right, it's just going to fuck up the ride.

I'm all for thinking outside the box. But I also don't want you to follow an idea down some endless rabbit hole to Nowheresville.
