the X I just bought has a broken rear shock. the end which screws onto the shaft broke at about the last thread. can I just thread it a little longer and put the end back on it and call it okay? Jim

on the shock itself you have the rod coming out of the shock housing thats got threads on the end of it. the U shaped bracket screws onto it. well the U shaped bracket wont screw onto the shock because the threaded end of the shock is broke. Im going to drill and tap it for a 10-32 screw, bolt the end on and weld around it with a mig welder, to see if it works. Jim

maybe its me thats getting you confused the shock assy was off the trike when I got it I just thought its for the trike, anyway it looks like any other coilover with a port for oil line. anyway I did weld it so if it works great is not I called a guy whos got about a 100 of these things in his yard and hes going to hook me up with a good shock 2 rims,hubs and nuts for $75.
