Piggyback shock system

[85hondaatc125m]

I am looking at buy in 1987(or so he says) 200x and he says it has front and rear suspension with a "piggyback shock system". Is this the suspension that has a swingarm and has a shock running from the swingarm to the frame? If not could you please explain and pictures if possible, Thanks in advance!

If its the same as my '83, then yes, thats what it is.
This is the only pic that I have that kinda shows the rear suspension.


I can get you a better pic if you want?

No problem, but if it is an '87 like he says, it might be a little different since the '86-'87 200x's were fairly different than the '83-'83.

Not actually a "piggyback" but rather a "remote reservoir" which actually has the advantage of an oil line and reservoir away from the shock body. The shocks are a bit different I think on the 86-87's but still utilize a remote system.
