Linkage question ?

[2fms]

Anyone know if there is a long travel linkage for a 03z400 that will work with the stock shock....

Elka has one. I think gt thunder does as well. And maybe PEP.

Sweet thanks I couldn't find anything PEP and Elka says you have to use there shock unless i miss read

Yes it did work with the stock rear shock. This is not a dog bone linkage replacment but the "H" linkage.

[footy]

Linkage by itself.

I was really looking for a lower rear ride height. Not sure how much it changed but it is lower in the rear. Seems like the linkage was ~ 1 to 1.5 inches longer than stock. As far as the machine work If you are talking about the skid plate I had to do lots of cutting to make this work. I did make that piece for the dogbone linkage. It looks ghetto but it works. Suzuki sells that piece for ~ $30 and it looks great.

Footy, the skid plate looks great, but those bolts will get sheered right off when you slide that across a rock.

You have to use countersunk screws/bolts if you want them to stay there.
