Mono-shock looks good, but wasnt designed for the tube frame, as far as heavier springs, seems to me they can only go so far, heavier rider is all, I think dual shock is your best bet!

I sure am glad no one told Ducati (among others, including Kawasaki) that Mono-shock was not designed for the tube frame.




I just don't get what mono-shock has to do with tube frame. A tube frame is easier to reinforce than a stamped aluminum or steel frame.

I think an argument could be made that a mono-shock conversion would be better than dual shock on a tube frame.
