This could work but I wouldn't bet on it....

The reason is because once the shock is removed, there's nothing to control the 'energy' created when the spring is compressed & extended during travel. It may allow you to feel "hey, it rides better" or it might be so bouncy that's all you notice. It's free to try though so not much to lose.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
