Lonestar No Link frame question

[kustomfab2003]

I just bought a Lonestar no link 250R frame and then a swingarm arm for it as well.

My question is does anyone know what length rear shock is required for this setup?

The swingarm I got says uses a 15 3/8 or 15 1/2 shock, but I think that is for a stock frame.

Help please...

Also if you have one kicking around (shock) I am in need of one.

I have a TCS that is setup for a 175-185Lb rider I can trade ot towars it or straight up. It is in great condition with no leak and the powdercoat on the springs is unmolested.

You are correct.

15 1/2 - 16 is for the for a stock frame with a no link swinger, or that is for a aftermarket frame with a stock shock mount swinger. If you run the aftermarket no link frame and have a no link swinger then you will need the longer shock. I forget the right length for this set up but I think its like 17?

OK I just talked to the person that I got the frame from and he ran a 21 1/2" elka... So I can run anything from basically 17 1/2 - 21" in length shock with eyelets on each end.


Talked to Lonestar today and they validated that as well but recommend staing in the upper teen range and staying out of the 20" range.

Anyone have anything laying around?

I was thinking of picking up a Fox off of a Troy Lee Predator 500 since it has the proper length and setup.

there looks to be a decent pep no link on ebay for your setup, check it out. I'm running an elka 18.5in triple rate on mine and I like it alot!

I have been following your thread, but wasn't sure what you were going to do so I held off.

I got a new shock today, a Walker Evans racing one.
