anyone who has aftermarket TRX link, please post pics, prefferably a fairly close up side view that shows angle of shock compared to frame rail, and a view to see ground clearance... or just any pics would be appreciated. I am looking for any link at all. and if you have experience using more than one, what worked better for MX purposes?


thanks in advanced

what color was it? Sorry, I don't have pics of either elka linkages I had/have. My new dual link hangs down approx. 1.75" more than stock link and my older single link elka hung down about .25".

The larger dogbone link is red and on the dual link the smaller peice is black. FYI: I am VERY impressed with the machine work of the linkage. They went with billet aluminum on the banana link and billet steel on the smaller one. Very nice.

the swingarm was black, couldn't see the linkage real good to tell what color it was, but i think it was using a fox shock. I am trying to find it cause it looked similar in mounting to CRF linkage systems used on hybrid bikes, being that the shock setup was a lot more vertical and not quite as laid down as most aftermarket linkages... which would require a shorter shock like the stock shock, but I am curious and that is why I am searching.

I have Walsh right now, and it works great, but it just hangs wa too low for my liking. I had to replace part of the linkage cause it got so beat up, it scrapes on take off sometimes and whenever the tracks are rutted it drags a lot.

Does anyone have any experience using walsh then switching to JB's new link... or just riding both? any input would be appreciated.

I was talking to baldwin @ Kentucky and they prefer the JB rear end over the walsh they run the Walsh front end and JB rear.
