I traded for this from another member and purchased it as described " stock link 86-87". I ended up selling it with my part out.
I sold it on eBay and received an email from the buyer claiming it's no link and only for an after market frame.
It looks to me to be a stock link but I'm no pro and I thought most aftermarket frames used 88-89 geometry.

This isn't a complaint about who I got it from because I believe it to be what he said.

Kevin The pic on the other forum also looks like the linkage mount is off center, and the carrier section seams too narrow....

if not for that then ya standard link all day.. but it just looks a little off

show that last pic on here maybe someone will verify its standard

Yeah he says it's 3/4 inch off. What could that mean ?

it could have been an 88/89 pivot mount for a no link frame...then cut down to 86/87 style pivot

86-89 link (sans cr500) or no link were always centered. Almost looks like some hack weld job.

I would be very surprised if that swingarm came from a professional shop, you can see all kinds of inconsistencies with it. The powder coating is covering allot of welding and grinding I bet.

Well then I am waiting for the guy I got it from to explain... Still hasn't responded

If you blow the picture up 400% you can see someone has mig or stick weld the rear section along with the shock tabs but other areas seems to be Tig welded so my guess is this arm started out as a short typical MX swingarm from some aftermarket company and some one has cut it and extended it 4" and for what ever reason moved the shock mounts to the left
Sorry but that swingarm is not worth even 100.00 in the condition it is

My 86-87 +4 LSR standard swinger looks close but there are a few discrepancies to be a LSR

Hmm is it time I drop the sellers name yet? This is just great...

rsss396 · « **Reply #12 on:** April 16, 2014, 09:21:24 PM »

You probably should because if they tried passing that off as a legit aftermarket arm I would hate to see what else they are trying to pass off
