Some people think improving suspension is jamming the wrong parts on the wrong machine.

All the geometry and spring rates involved are not easy to get right, then the seat is too high and the wheelbase/rake too short or too raked out and won't turn.

Sometimes Mad Scientist experiments work, other times they don't............

More travel doesn't men it's better unless it's usable travel.

Like DC said links don't work. The 83-85 used a dogbone on the bottom of the shock to mount to the swinger, the 86-87 did not use that. I'm going to guess that dogbone is the issue.

ok but it also sat like that before he changed the swinger so he either had a 84-86 swinger or its something else..
