Motorcycle with a rear suspension having a pull shock track system
A motorcycle including a main frame, a rear swing frame, and a pull shock assembly operatively disposed between the main frame and the rear swing frame. The swing frame is pivotally mounted to the main frame. The main frame includes a pair of slide tracks that receive a slide member of the pull shock assembly. A link arm extends between a forward portion of the swing frame and the slide member, and translates pivotal movement of the swing frame into sliding longitudinal movement of the slide member. A damper associated with the slide member restricts sliding movement of the slide member and, thus, pivotal movement of the swing frame. The link has a forward end secured to the swing frame and a rearward end secured to the slide member.
