West Coast Swingarm Blues

[1DEADPRESIDENT]

Ok, I started to install the WS on the 200x yesterday. After fighting with the front needle bearings for most of the morning, I was ready to get everything bolted back together and RIDE! Well the apparently the oem bracket for the shock absorber won't work on the West Coast Swing Arm. :mad: Has anyone got one of these aftermarker swingarms on a 200x? I have made sure the rest of the axle and brake properly fit.:naughty: Not sure which shock bracket is going to fit. Anyone ??:rolleyes:

take a pic of the area that you need the bracket for. my swinger is a DICO wich is supposed to be a renamed westcoast. it was missing the shock bracket too. i made one but the original would have been better.

Ok here are the pic's. What do you think? The bottom bolt hole is off by at least 3/8 of an inch. Do I need to make one or do you think another year shock link will work?
