Looks like a great start to me! The Westcoast and the pipe are definately a added bonus. Great score!!!!

Thank you for the kind words.I have a question, what aftermarket bearing carriers fit in the west coast swingers? RAD? CAN you just order a carrier for a 86 250r and it will fit? Also, this is my first WEST COAST and I see the rear linkage has several holes for the rear linkage,does this swinger require a longer shock?

Yes 86 carriers should fit the West Coast.

The holes are for ride height and shock adjustments. Moving the shock will alter the ride height, no longer shock is needed.

Nice find...

all aftermarket carriers will fit as long as they are ordered for a 86 swinger correct?

Nice find, what kind of tires are those in the rear? I never saw a tread like that before.

you know, I have not the foggiest idea-I'll look for you tomorrow and post.Those rims are true 86 rims, code inside says 8-86 on it,the tires came with them.They are directional tires that I remember!
