Hey guys! Thought I would get some opinions on a nice swing-arm for the 1986 250r. I would like to support the companies on the site if I can. Anybody know if JD engineering makes them? I looked on their site but did not see a swinger for the 86 250r listed.

I know LSR, Leager, and Walsh still make swingarms for the 1986 R. I'm sure you can find some lesser known companies that make them.

ACE is another brand, I don't know anything about them but I have one I got in a parts lot that's -5/8" I'm going to try. I think there around $500 new:

Get 89 length or -1 for 86/87 chassis if riding anything other sand

A 450r swap is a cheap easy way if you want to go stock length or -1

Go 88-89 length no matter what.
