This article will demonstrate some of the modifications necessary to install a Fox shock with a piggyback reservoir design (the oil reservoir is attached to the top of the shock). Fewer mods will likely be necessary if you can get a Fox with a remote reservoir like this one, which was used on a race EX250 from the early 90's. It was built for either the 250 or the EX500. | This article will demonstrate some of the modifications necessary to install a Fox shock with a piggyback reservoir design (the oil reservoir is attached to the top of the shock).
