Shock Linkage Question

[zlMark]

Hey guys,, will the newer '91-'93 mono shock linkage fit on my '83?

Hey Mark,

You have asked a very interesting question! The swingarm section is the same on all First Gen. bikes. The part that attaches to the Air Shock, is different between the MKI (1983 to 1985) and the MKII (1986 to 1992) So if you want to put a MKII swingarm and shock mount on a MKI, you will have trouble with the shock mount. However, if you want to put a MKII SHOCK, and swingarm on a MKI that might work.

I haven't seen one yet to know but it think it would be a nice upgrade if the parts were dirt cheap. For now I will just install the grease fittings on my original with the worn out bushings, at least that will get rid of the creaking

 

Thanks for the reply!
