they started using the seats where the back end was real wide in 90, thats a regular narrow seat, unless it has older plastics on it maybe.

 

yeah and the swinger uses a round carrier with pinch clamps, and the front shocks look relativaley short. sounds like an 85-86 lt250r to me.

nice find!

 

The front shocks measure about 12 inches, bolt to bolt with the big motor on board. Any suggestions for shocks, keeping it cheap? Can I put front shocks off of a larger cc Suzuki from the same vintage on it or should I go after market?

Thanks again, I am convinced it is a 250 (Well, 750/250 that is!). Troy

 

im not sure what other factory shocks will swap on those but im sure you could find some decent Works shocks on e-bay both new and used for a decent price.

 

I'm with LT230sman. It has the round carrier from the 85-86 lt.

 

Here are some updated pics. I have been working away on it since I bought it. The 69 Superbee stickers were a must.Troy

 

mopar? :\

well... 69... eh i suppose...

anyways, thats definatley an 85-86. only they used short 12.38" front shocks. after that, they used 15" units, 87-92. and the difference isnt just in the arms, the upper mounts on the frame are different. as far as upgrades go, talk to works. they will get u set up right for a fair price.

 

I am probably going to take it out to sand mountain soon for some testing. The temps out there have been smokin hot lately. I will post up some feedback once I run it and give my thoughts.

I have discovered, with your help, that it is probably an 85-86 LT 250R. I also believe the motor is a 1990 ZX 750. Thanks for all of your help. Troy
