d-flex shackles...tight budget

Post by suzuki-rob » Mon Nov 05, 2012 11:54 pm

hi all im really interested in the d-flex style shackles but don't fancy paying £105.00 pound plus postage (ones on eBay) a few on my mates have them on there Suzuki's and im on the tightest budget yet (stupid ebay :hahaha: ) and i got thinking has anyone made there own d-flex style shackles or got any plans/pictures. could save a killing if i made them my self for my Suzuki. im quite handy with a welder :weld: and confident in my welds lol plus its for a off roader i use on my own land. hope to here everyones thoughts

They aren't hard to make, just copy your mates.

If you make them it won't cost much then you can try them and see if you like them. Personally I would only ever fit them on one axle, it'll keep your sj more stable.
