I'm searching for the mount locations for the CR500 shock swap. I've been able to find out the correct linkage needed, and the shock length of 17.75", however I still need to find the exact locations of the mounts.
I'm speculating that the lower linkage mount is probably in the same location as the stock 250R linkage, however I know for sure the top mount needs relocated. Can anyone point me in the right direction for this information.
I already have the shock, linkage, and swingarm.
Thanks in advance.

I'm thinking the lower linkage mount is offset also but not 100% sure. I think Walsh makes a kit for the stock frame or they will do it for you.

Shock length is around 19" unless it's different if you convert a stock frame.
Contacting Walsh is your best bet.

According to WORKS website the listing for Laegers CR500 chassis takes a 17.75" shock. (which is the length of the 85-88 CR).
Actually, The Laeger chassis with the CR500 swinger took either a 17.75" shock or an 18.25" shock. The later model CR500 shockse were 18.50" shocks. I have no idea why the Walsh kit would take a 19" shock.
I guess I probably better just build my upper shock mount to match the 17.75" shock that I have.
I did see that the shock and linkage is offset 8mm.
Keep the help coming though guys!

The shock mounts are definitley offset. Get with GOTFEAR. I believe he had a conversion like this on a stock frame at one point in time.
When I had my Laeger bikes, the rear shocks were about as long as my 19" fronts for a Pro Trax front end.

The PEP ZPS shock for my 2001 Laeger CR500 link frame is 18.75 inches long.
