I need to replace the 2 bushings in the shock ling on my 86 ATC 250R. According to Bikebandit, they are discontinued. Thes are the ones that go into piece 4 on the Bike bandit blowup under cushion arm, and are piece 5. They go in the arm that the shock hooks up to, not the dogbone part. I noticed that they have them for 87 TRX 250R. Would they be the same, or work? Mine turned up lost, and they are all I need for the rear.

Dammit!

The TRX ones do not fit. I actually talked Pivot Works into making a trike kit and then never followed through with sending them the parts they need to reproduce them (partly because I can't get my hands on parts in good enough condition).

I ended up paying a ridiculous amount of money to have custom ones made.

Looks like I am either ebay bound, or doing some talking to get some machined. That kinda blows. I don't suppose a guy could swap the TRX linkage in either, huh?

Dammit!

Not sure but I think you'd have to use the TRX shock too. I think the bottom bolt is bigger.

Anyone tried that?
