Who has a +2 westcoast with a skidplate for the 86 250r? I know we've discused this before but I can't locate it with the search. I don't have any oem swingarms handy to compare it with. Anyone know which year skidplate fits off hand?

Thank you sir but I figured it out already. They made it so the stock skid will work, makes sense. I ordered a new one for it tonight.

I've got adjustable struts but I can use all stock linkage on this if I want to.

I found this one on ebay about 2 weeks ago but it was all black.;)

I powdered it myself in a friends shop, then added decals.

You shouldn't need an adjustible stut with that swingarm. I had one on my bike in the 1980s The slots are supposed to fit aluminum pieces with holes in them so you can adjust the ride height. Did it come with them? If not, you will have to make some.

I thought the stock skidplate fit the arm, but it's been a long time since I had that bike.

What is with the Milltech swingarm that makes it so special?

I've got the inserts for it, and for this one, I just havn't cleaned them up yet. I buy up those adjustable struts when they come up on ebay just to have around.

I like the looks of that Milltech, take it off and weight it for me:p I bet it weighs less. I took a stock shortened (-2) swingarm off my trx tonight and it weighs 25 pounds with the carrier.
