Anyone using Gt thunder linkage with Derisi rebuilds. If so how do you like it?

yah you get a couple more inches of travel they are nice...if you revalve your stock shock or get a new shock to accomodate the linkage ... it will be like riding on air.. I like makes my ride alot smoother.

since the GT thunder link is designed to work with a single rate spring and the Derisi shock is a dual rate zps setup, I'd say your ride height will be far to low and it would work better with GT's valving and springs, or just derisi's spring and valving setup

Thats not the case for everyone though, depends on which link also. Your better off asking Laz himself.

Derisi doesn't use a new link on the YFZ, but I agree on the R they are basically the same from what I hear

GT Thunder game honda rights to copy his linkage that he was already making. When they were designing the 06's they actually had gt thunder linkage on the prototype.
