rear shock linkage

[Nac's22]

is the rear shock linkage for 87-89 the same? service honda is selling a separate one for the 86 and then another for 87-89. i know that the 86-87 had a different style swingarm than the 88-89 had. right now i bought my 89 with the adjustable rear strut but i do mx and i really dont think that it would be too good for it.

the wishbones are the same but the dog bone is whats different...i think the 86-87 dog bone is longer then the 88-89

if you use a ajustable dog bone or strut any year will work

you can use an 86/87 link, your quad will just sit a little lower.

[86 Quad R]

slinky is correct. :cool: it will work.

is it a good lower or bad. like would it have any bad effects on the shock or handeling. this is an mx quad so i wanna make sure that it will still handle good. seems to me with it being lower it will lower the center of gravity and make it handle better.

anyone?

[Slinky]

it should be fine to have it sit lower...what kind of front shocks do you have? are they height adjustable? if you need a dogbone i have one, its for an 86 i believe.

it has PEP ZPS shocks on the front on a JB racing +3 +1 front end. The rear is a stock rebuild from PEP. i bought it this way and im trying to get a zps rear to match the fronts.
