    185s long travel rear suspension???

    Must be some sort of early 80's racing relic. That rear shock is big.

    Nope, not a racing relic. Just pieces from a 185s rear suspension kit. Sad part is, it's missing the rest of the kit. That swingarm really isn't worth much at all without the rest of the kit or the modified frame. That seller isn't too swift.

    they might be good people, but I have noticed a lot of parts they list are listed incorrectly, or are noticeably damaged or missing parts. It just seems to me a lot of sellers on e-bay part out and sell a ton of parts but never really "learn the trade" so to speak.
    Don't worry...just run watcha brung...

    I can definitely agree with that.

    Some times its better for the buyer that way. They might not even know what they are selling and you can score a deal.
