Has anyone tried the Houser Long Travel Linkage on the 450r? I am debating between the Houser and GT Thunder linkage.

The Houser linkage only fits the Houser swingarm!

If your a pro or got the money then go for the houser. IMO

If you all ready have the Swingarm, I would go ahead and get their Linkage.

If you go with the Houser swing arm and linkage,you will need a 17.5 inch rear shock.I have this setup with a custom Axis rear shock and it rocks.

on the bike i ran last year i have the Axis shock with the linkage. really nice i love it, feels great. but for my new race bike this year i am going to be running the houser set up with axis on the rear.
to me the shocks feel alittle different but maybe that is just the extra travel. i will know more when i get the new race bike finally built and ridin on some.

Ive got one spacer on the inside so I guess it would make it i inch wider in the rear and I went with 1 inch in the front for xc
