Check these out, my dad and I both agree we'd be changing our undies after these two scenarios!

So how much modification for this bad boy?

Is it worth it? Seems like a pretty good deal to me.</end quote></div>
Just cut the top shock mount and drill a new hole an inch higher. I think the 250 shock is longer.
Is it worth it??? If you have the money I guess. It does seem to stay down after a jump rather than bouncing right back like the 230 shock does.</end quote></div>
Well, I don't think I want to go for it now, but maybe someday down the road. Man those videos are just nuts!

WOW! I claim to be a hunter, but DAMN!!!!!!!!!!
Screw that! It is good to kill things that dangerous from 300 yards in! Forget that close!!!
We hunted boar on the Santa Cruz coast. (The farmers pay to have guides take people out to kill their "vermin" IE pigs)!
Dogs hunt the pork chops down, and pin them down, then the guide hands you a knife, and tell you to stick it in the neck???
Screw that I shot the *****er!!!!

That shock has been on ebay before or for a long time, I have seen that one a couple of times searching. It looked like a polished terd to me? If you get I hope it is good shape.

Check out the picture...
I figured what swing arm I got with the "free" quad I have been dismantleing. It is a 87 swinger off a 87 230 E, mounted onto a 86 230S. anyways the 230 E's came with a upper chain roller mounted on the top of the swing arm. The 230 S's did not come with this, does anybody know why? I am going to legnthen this swingarm since the bearing tube is in good shape, and planned on keeping and using the roller. Does any body see any reason why it would cause a problem? Also a replacement roller is $45!! on babbits, anybody think of a material I could make one out of?
Also check out the indent on the pivot tube. It shows it but I still don't know what it is for?

I've seen one of them on ebay and was wondering which 230 it was off of. Is that swinger just a plug and play part on the 86?
