Can someone give me some measurments? I would like to the know the hieght of your frame from the ground to the bottom side of your frame, with suspension fully released as high as it will go and while your setting on it.

Billy you made the comment once that yours was really high, can you give me your measurements also?

I'm working on putting a no link set up on mine like ktm, cdale run. Trying to get measurements before I start cutting it all up.

Mine was like 11 3/4 with the way the shocks WERE setup, Loaded, (without me on it, just its own weight) I'm told by one of the shop guys @ WRC that they shoot for 7 inches optimal clearance on the tracks around here unless its sand or something that ruts up really bad and needs more.

I've got mine down to bout 9 1/4 now. I can't go any less or the spring cups on the bottom of the shafts will fall out when the shocks are unloaded from lack of tension on the springs. Measure right behind the A-arm mounts in the front, and in front of the foot peg mounts. 1/2 difference between those 2 places is OK depending on which way you want your weight transferred (Low in the back for more traction, or low in the front for more steering traction if the front end is pushing from what I understand)

DOh!!!


I just sold a Fox shock for a non link 250 R on Ebay today. I still have the swinger and a skid plate for it if you are interested.

The swinger looks to be the older Steel type. The skid plate is alluminum. I just checked and who ever bought the Fox shock is from Kansas. Did you just win a Fox shock on Ebay?

Gimme 20$ and shipping and I can send you the swinger and skid plate.
