A10 plunger suspension shrouds
« on: 03.10. 2023 20:47 »
Hi all hope your all good.I have a question about the suspension travel on the rear of the plunger set up.More importantly does it look right in the pic below I’ve assembled it with the parts I got with the bike but it looks there’s a only 1.5” rear travel before the shroud will foul the cast axle holder?!Most of the pics I’ve seen of other plungers the top shroud appears shorter?,what do people think?

G'day Vd.
My top shroud measures 85mm and travel would be 65mm till things touch.
I'm sure these are the originals, got the bike in 1981 and it spent 15 years in a chook shed prior.
Cheers

Your top shroud is too long. I've added a pic of how it should look, Muskrats dimensions would be right.
