200X rear shock question

[Jim mac]

the X I just bought has a broken rear shock. the end which screws onto the shaft broke at about the last thread. can I just thread it a little longer and put the end back on it and call it okay? Jim

A picture would help explain the problem .. but is it the bolt that snapped ?

" at the last thread " .. last thread of wich part ?

[Jim mac]

on the shock itself you have the rod coming out of the shock housing thats got threads on the end of it. the U shaped bracket screws onto it. well the U shaped bracket wont screw onto the shock because the threaded end of the shock is broke. Im going to drill and tap it for a 10-32 screw, bolt the end on and weld around it with a mig welder, to see if it works. Jim

ok im lost?
what about the rebound clicker?? is that where it is broke??

[Jim mac]

maybe its me thats getting you confused the shock assy was off the trike when I got it I just thought its for the trike, anyway it looks like any other coilover with a port for oil line. anyway I did weld it so if it works great is not I called a guy whos got about a 100 of these things in his yard and hes going to hook me up with a good shock 2 rims,hubs and nuts for $75.
