linkless swingarm?????

[rowlrag]

wondering if anyone is running a linkless swingarm in the woods, or anywhere? How is it, and what setup? Does any use the stock airbox.

i do on my r. 01 lonestar dc 2 no link frame and swing arm. use it to xc race. use a stock air box mod .

How do you like the way it handles vs stock linkage?

Isn't no link suppose to be a slighlty stiffer ride?

Holeshot19, do you have any pics of your bikes? They seem really nice.

I heard that the overall ride is better because it allows a better shock angle. But I really don't know, I never heard or running it in XC I though it was more an MX set-up. I could see it helping in XC cause you would gain lots of ground clearence.

the bike i raced last year was a lsr link bike it had axis all the way a round. the difference i most notice is the rear end is allways hooked up. its kind of reminds me of how a dirt bike rides when you shift you weight and load and uload the rear end you can make sail over stuff. this year i loaded up from upstate s.c and went to FL to run the first gncc it wooped out so bad i draw up and hit that stuff wide open. it would suck it up. the bad thing is i have weak a wrest and hit a bush and ended my day. the rear shock has so much up travel that it beats my air box up.

I thought you are supposed to run a special airbox with the linkless set-up. I know lsr sells one that cost an arm and both legs.

[holeshot19]

they do but its for mx racing. it pulls air from the bottom of the box. thats useless in woods racing. so you take a stock air box a grinding wheel,heat gun,and a lot of cusing.:blah

IS the swingarm 89 length? thax for input.

[airheadedduner]

I would think you could get it in any length.

[holeshot19]

yes its 89 length.
