I was wondering if anyone has pictures of the Baldwin Linkage? Who has one and how do you like it? Thanks

The LSR DC6 linkage is really similar and is quite a bit cheaper.

pretty sure gt thunder is cheapest of all-- and if your local shop is a tucker rocky dealer u can even get a discount on top of the cheaper price of 175 for gt thunders linkage----- i got mine for 125!!!!

Colby do you know the numbers on the Baldwin? I see Lonestar has their numbers listed. Mark said his link comes with an airbox riser too. So know one has one or any pics?:(

I don't have the numbers on the baldwin link. As for comparing it to a gt thunder link there is no comparison the LSR is a dual link that alllows for a longer shock with more shaft travel. It also will requires much lighter valving and spring rates compared to the gt thunder link.

I thought the baldwin link was like 200 bux? And the lsr is 255.. and the LSR is only listed for an 06 and up model, while the bms link you can get for an 04/05

The Baldwin link is $409.95 w/ the airbox riser included. You are correct on the LSR link, but most people have been running 06 and up swingarms on earlier models (04, 05) since they are longer.

:eek2: woa that is steep, i guess i was a little off. Now if you get an 06+ swinger, it is a little longer, but the real differance is the linkage mounting point which allows for a better rear shock, i noticed the baldwin linkage is a dual link like the LS is the baldwin availiable for an 04/05 or just 06+ like the LS?

thump4863- Thanks for the pictures! That thing looks very nice and I'm sure it made the rear end a lot better. (should for the price! haha)

I'm not sure if it is available or not for the 04 05. I would think it might, but like I said I'm going to run an 07 swingarm on my 05 with the link.
