MZ/MuZ Riders

Well, with a couple of minor mods, anyway. The gentleman I bought my Baggy from replaced its WP shock with an older unit off of his Mastiff.

I had to grind the lower ears round a bit (the KaTooM lower ears are squared-off), but she slid right in. For the record, the shock fits through the bottom of the swingarm, once the linkage connecting it to the frame is unbolted. All bolts, save for the top 8mm allen, were 17mm--I used a 17mm wrench ("spanner"), and a 17mm socket to get it done.

Good news.

Thanks for posting, any chance of a photo when you get time?

Also the exact shock used.

Glad to here your $500 bargin is working out!

Sure.

This is the picture from the auction ("WP Shock off of a 2001 KTM Duke II):



Here is a bad iphone picture of the "rounded" ears and how they interface with the linkage:



And here is a picture of the shock sitting where it now lives:



It seems that this shock might be a bit shorter (should have measured... LOL!). I'm going to set the preload properly, then give it a good measure. If it is indeed shorter, it might be a brilliant soultion for someone wanting to lower their Baghira. And I might be interested in trading for their standard length shock
