Yes to make the shock and linkage work as they were (I didn't want to have a custom shock made). If I used the 250R swingarm and shock locations, the shock clevis bound up on the rear linkage and there was too much up travel with 20" tires. You might be able to get away with it for 18" tires (MX) but you need to go through all the measurements and calculations to get it right.

awesome I will try this.

Mounted the long travel 450r shock. Made spacers to fit link and top shock mount. This will only work with an aftermarket swingarm to make clearance for the elka link travel.
