Nice auto X, from the looks of the pic, it looks like that R needs a lot more than a swingarm. If that is all that is missing from it, then I suggest getting a swinger etc. from a member on the boards here. Just post an ad in the classifieds section. It would be an awful amount of work trying to retrofit that 200X swingarm onto that R. And yes, that suspension linkage is critical to the trike riding and responding correctly. Please don't butcher that X.:beer
