Quick Q about my LRD Frame

[dquarton]

My LRD alum frame currently has a no link setup. There seems to be a bracket in the normal area of the frame that a link would attach to for a linkage setup. Can these frames be used for no link and linkage applications?

Thanks! I had a lot more in there about wanting Honda to stop discontinuing parts, but needless to say, that did not make it in the article.....

Dale, I had 2 of those frames myself and built a few when I was a mechanic on Team Nac's and from what I recall due to the way they were jigged up for welding they all had the stock linkage bracket on the bottom main tube, but the no-link frames are different at the top where the shock mounts. You could try bolting it up but unless you had a special ordered length rear shock I don't think it would set right. Good luck, Ryan

The LRD I had was a stock link only setup

thats correct they were all jigged with the lower but the no link upper is angulated different in the frame,you can still run a no link shock but it would have to be a custom length and you will loose around 2 inches of travel
