It's a piggyback reservoir for the rear shock Nathan.
Gutty: Is that a clear lexan-style bashguard I see on that FRM125? It doesn't look like an evil/e13, what is it?

Yeah, it's a lexan bashgaurd. I'm a CNC machinist so it makes sense for me to make my own stuff sometimes and IMO the evil/e13 is the best designed chainguide going around, so i copied it.

Nope, another custom bit, The standard FRM has a small problem that when the suspension is fully compressed the linkage/seatstay pivot hits the seat tube. As i had planned on getting the Avy for it from the beggining i figured why not go for a bit more travel while i'm at it so i ordered an Avy that was 2.25" stroke instead of the standard 2" stroke. Obviously i would have had problems with the linkage pivot hitting the seatube even more so i made some new linkage plates that move that pivot back and away from the seat tube while keeping the suspension ratio at around 3:1(actually came out at about 3.2:1). So in the end i have a bit over 7" rear travel and the linkage pivot doesn't hit the seat tube.

I actually have a spare set that look a little different but have the same geometry if any of you have an 03 FRM you'd like to play around with. Sorry but they don't work on the older models. I've tried them on my 01 model and they didn't work.

Best rear shock on the planet IMO. I'm first and foremost an MXer, i wanted the rear suspension to feel just like my YZ that i had at the time and the Avy is pretty much the only way to get that feel from a MTB. Though i have yet to try the new El Jeffe from Stratos or the new Vanilla DH, these are supposed to be very similar to the Avy as far as i know.
In the little time i've spent on it i'm very very impressed. especially concidering my Fox blew/started leaking the first day of riding.

Thanks for all the compliments guys :)

yeah, thats the Banshee Scream linkage on that Schwinn, all three brands(Banshee,Craftworks,Schwinn) are made in the same factory. I had originally made a linkage similar to that on a Stinky but it didn't suit the Craftworks one bit. Yes, mine is very similar.

I'll top that, I'll throw in a deck chair as well as the bin so you can sit on your front lawn and watch the garbos empty it!

Top work on the custom linkage plates. Nice to see someone is upgradingtheir bikes sensibly and making the parts themselves. I have made acouple of chain devices as well and the satisfaction of making parts isas good as using them well. Those plates actaully look very Banshee(and very Bling)....nothing wrong with that :cool:
Keep up the good work
