just need to know if a TRX swinger is a direct swap onto a 85 250r frame?

Yup, as long as it isnt a aluminum 88-89 style. The brake stay setup is different from the 85 tho, you will need the 86-87 style brake stay AND the carrier is different also. Im not sure if your 85 axle will work with the 86 carrier,......i cant remember.....brain fart.

Isn't one year 1" shorter??

Of course I'm not smart enough to write this chit down as I find it :lol:

^I think* the aluminum 88-89 ones are an inch shorter. I too should take notes.

ok thanks guys. anyone know if the my 85 axle will work in the 86 carrier?

the reason im trying to do this swap is because i already have a 86 carrier. when the dude sold it to me he said it would work in the 85.... well i learn right quick that it doesnt.

That Aftermarket axle you have will fit '85 - '89 250R's

Just got to find the correct hub.
