I have a nice stock swingarm and a really nice Ohlins rear shock. While I have my R apart Im thinking about switching to a no-link rear end.
Would it be worth it?

-I could sell my ohlins (VERY good shape, sells for like $850-900 new) for $750 possibly
-Sell my mint linkage for $50?
-And my swingarm for $100 (VERY nice stocker)

I may get $900 if Im lucky. Meaning I'd have to pay about $450-$500 for a no-link rear end (TCS or elka w/ Herrmann swingarm).

Would It be worth it? Im purty serious about racing

i have an R, and use the Gibson long travel front end, and use the stock 88 rear linkage, with an aixs shock. I ride whoops, as fast as i can, and i do freestyle and i love the linkage set up. But ive never tried the no link set up. i love all the sag they have though.

I running an 86 swingarm, so Im definatley get an 88-89 swingarm if I dont get a no-link set-up.
