The Orange Project rear monoshock upgrade

The Orange Project and the TR-1 share basically the same frame so, like I did before with the TR-1,  I decided to upgrade the rear monoshock  on the Orange too.
I took the chance to raise the whole bike a bit and "re-do the math" for the front rake angle.
Yes, I know, she doesn't look good



After a bit of machining..





...everything is ready.
On the right the original monoshock, on the left the new multi-adjustable one taken from a Yamaha R1...with an orange spring of course....


All in place, checking the new height





Back on its wheels



A big thank you to my friend Emanuele who helped me with the whole process

Thank you Roland! I did the same for the TR-1 few months ago. It's an easy and quite cheap way to increase the dynamic performance of the bike and change the rear eight.

Almost ready to take everything apart on this one too. Hopefully.  If I don't come up with some last minute overcomplicated stupid idea ...
