1984 xr350 swing arm, link, and shock are mocked up on my bike.

The swingarm needs a shim on either side, but the bolt is the same.

had to weld a mount for the link onto the lower crosstube of the frame, and I still need to redrill the top mount extensions I had welded in place already.

The top bolt location places too much leverage on the shock, and the stock location would have the spring pinned into the top crosstube.

Need to mill the brake mount and make a bush for the sproket side of the wheel, to get the sprokets lined back up just right.

Wish i had the wheels for that bike.

I'll take pics once its completed, painted and being reassembled.

probly next weekend, i have to remove all the broken grease zerks and replace them before reassembling it.
