    West Coast Swingarm Blues

    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. Has anyone got one of these aftermarker swingarms on a 200x? I have made sure the rest of the axle and brake properly fit. Not sure which shock bracket is going to fit. Anyone ??

    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?
