Which swing arm-linkage combo is the best? Walsh savoir, Walsh EZ, or JB superlink or any others?

Teixeira Tech which uses a stock 06+ swingarm. Has great ground clearance as well.

I have actually heard that the lonestar outlaw set up is awesome, but I have yet to ride a bike with one. People love the Jb and both Walsh's so I guess it's personal preference and whatever works best for you. I would suggest putting some ride time in on a few and making a conclusion then. Your going to get alot of mixed opinions.

Thanks for the imput gentlemen. I figured I would get a lot of different opinions. Buddy gave me an idea last night and I'm going to go with. Since I run Custom Axis shocks ask them their opinion also.

DC-6/06+ swinger with pep is good. Ran it with fox last year due to sponsorship. pep performed a lil better though

I ride with 2 walsh saviors since I dont know when , and they are good with PEP shocks. The only thing I dont like is how low the Linkage is.

1 of my swingarm is also cracking like its made of glass , its not even funny. The other one is just fine.

If I get to build another honda I will definatly use the Six 5 design swingarm , looks amazing.

Talked to Axis today and they said as far as swingers go the top 3 are in their opinion: Walsh EZ 25:17 JB superlink LSR outlaw. Said between these 3 its personal prefrence. The savior is good but the lever ratio flatens out just before it bottoms and you have to run a stiffer spring to compensate.

get an EZ or superlink and be done with it
