Does anyone have any info on the linkage setup when using a VRP swingarm as the geometry of it is way different than stock. I'm putting a VRP swingarm on a 89 cr250 and it's sitting up higher than stock. Would I need a different linkage setup or is this how it's supposed to sit

if it's longer you should need a longer link to lower the bike

However, our resident VRP / Mugen maven, LuckyNino, would almost certainly know what's what. I think amoung his bevvy of Mugens, he's got a Steel frame 88/89 125. Hell, he's got a squillion aluminium framed VRP / Mugens. Next time I'm in Switzerland, I'm gonna mount a commando mission to his workshop...............
This is where it should sit, About half an inch short.
Just check out luckynino's profile here for his posts - it will boggle your mind when you see his VRP / Mugen 125s
I hope you've got a real VRP - you'll see what I mean when you see the bannana'd VRP fake that was in one of Luckynino's last postings.
I usually go to / through Switzerland at least once a year, so doing a 'visit' to him might be on the cards, normally. But, I've got 3 overseas weddings to attend next year, so doubt I'll get to Europe with time to spare. I'll get to the 2 Indonesian GPs only, I think. And, perhaps the US MXDN. It all depends on what I can work out with 'She Who Must Be Obeyed'............ Moneys tight on my end, and my big event attendance, is down to my being a bit of a 'kept man' next year.
