V4 Suspension Linkage


The rear suspension on the Honda Interceptor models were some of the first motorcycles to use a progressive rate rear suspension linkage. These bikes suffered from a very spongy feel for the rear tire and poor tire adhesion. This kit, available for VF1000R/F and VF500F models (others available also, but please e-mail for availability), replaces the stock linkage and requires no other modifications.

The link is used to raise the rear ride height while keeping the stock rate.  This allows better weight distribution for increased traction and handling.


Anaylsis


All parts are made from 7075-T6 Aluminum.  Bushings are installed in the part at the pivots and retain the original fasteners. Parts come standard as raw aluminum. Coatings and anodizing such as hard coat anodize, polishing, and color anodizing are available. E-mail for cost and specific needs.
