    Looking at the photo with two shocks mounted to one rocker, where are the other ends of the shocks mounted?

    The 4-shock configuration was not zero-roll. The shocks were mounted solidly onto a subframe assembly that bolted in over the engine. I tried various droop limiters but the z-bar was the most effective as I could quickly change the rear wheel rate. When I made my own inboard Z-bars, they would tear themselves up (due to low budget fab and heat-treating).
