Shocks and chainguard clearance
Posted: Tue May 16, 2023 1:54 pm
Hi all,
I have searched in vain for information on clearance between lower shroud of shock and chainguard for late model bikes, 1964-69. Reason is I consider fitting Ikon shocks which have wider rear springs than Girlings (Ikon offer wide and a narrow series of shocks). A shrouded Girling shock is ø55mm in diameter at the lower end, a similar shrouded NJB shock is ø56 mm. I'd be grateful if someone could tell me the clearance between shroud and chainguard for a bike fitted with shrouded shocks.
Anyone here who has fitted Ikon shocks of any type?
