Rear strut (not mono-strut)
So, I was looking through this month's Street & Strip Magazine. They did a thing on the Bikerboyz movie. That's not what I want to know about. On the picture of Kid Rock's ZX-12, there looks like there is a bar/strut that connects between a modified rearset and one of the passenger peg mounts. I only saw one side, but I would assume that there is another one on the other side. It looks like it's a nice easy external method of making the rear suspension rigid.
These guys would solve my problem of swapping from track/drag use (with wheelie bar) to street use. If I had these, I wouldn't have to mess with swapping the shock with the monostrut every time. Then, the wheelie bars would be real "bolt-ons." Yeah, I know it's extra weight, but the convenience more than makes up for it in my head.
I wanna know if they are readily available before I go ahead and design and build a set for myself.

Isnt the rearset and the passenger peg mount both located on the frame? How would that work as a strut for your purpose?

They are what i used on a zx9 before but make sure the spool mounts are welded all around and not just tacked on like my 12

We need to get Dino's creative juices going on this. It would be slick to have a nice sano set-up easy to put on and take off instead of pulling the shock!!

Man, I'm glad someone else understands why I want these things. It looks like I'm gonna have to design my own.
