Need pic of your suspension.....

[JoePA]

OK. I did the 450R swingarm swap and all is well just trying to get the linkage dialed in. Right now I'm running the stock linkage with an adjustable dog bone. I need a pic of your rear suspension linkage, see photo below for the angle of pic I'm looking for, with the quad sitting on the ground. I would like to get a pic of an 86 and an 88-89. I'm close but it's a tad stiff right now.

I'll get you a pic of my 88 trx(it has a durablue slightly longer strut) and 86 atc250r(stock 86 strut). Next time I go to where they are, it will probably be on friday.

Thank you everyone for the pics. That is what I needed.

Yes.. the linkage is on backwards due to it being run on the 250R. I'm currently runnign the stock linkage with and adjustable dog bone and it works OK but the mounting point on the swingarm is closer to the shock on the 250R swinger than it is on the 450R one.

Now to really make sure my assumption is correct can you take a measurement from the center of the hole on the linkage mounting bracket to the center of the swingarm bolt hole?

My guess it's going to be around 12"

[86 Quad R]

you need the distance from the frame linkage mounting to the swinger linkage mounting..... center to center?

[JoePA]

Swinger linkage mounting to the bolt that holds the swingarm to the frame...center to center. Doesn't have to be an exact number but pretty close.

Once again THANK YOU!!!
