83/82 250r swing arm

[King Trikester]

will the 83 swing arm work on the 82 250r? if so are there any pros/cons

[fabiodriven]

I'm pretty sure it will not as they are two very different styles of suspension. I don't know for a fact though.

Like Fabio said to different types of suspension. The 83 is Pro-Link 82 is not. I know for a fact that the pivot bolt portion on the 83-84 is wider than the 82.I looked into this years ago. I have one of each gen 250r.

If you need an 82 swingarm I have a very nice Westcoast +3 that I'm thinking about selling. It's not cheap though.

Isn't every year for the 1st and 2nd gen 250R rear suspension different from the previous? I thought 83 and 84 were different as well

[stoshu]

Every year is different. Most aftermarket swingarms for 1st gen work for both drum and disk brake.

Are there any other options for replacement? My swinger is all cracked up. I know this thread is old but figured I'd give it a shot

You can find a good used OEM piece or an expensive Calfab or Westcoast or whatever you find, or make your own.
