Will an lt250 swing arm easily fit in an lt230 frame?

87 up all had power valves 87 had a bigger reed cage and pedals so in both lt250 and lt500 87 jugs are one year only

a lt250r swingarm will go in a lt230s frame. i put one in mine for a day or so for giggles once. the bearings are the same size and everything. but i wound up putting a swinger from an 86 230 in mine with a 86 lt250r axle and my 230 hubs to widen my rear to match my lengthened a arms up front

Are you serious!? This is going to save me so much money and time. No more pricey aftermarket swing-arms I can use a stock arm from a different model Thanks

BUT what about the stock mount? Line up?

Is the lt250 shock big enough? Maybe I can find someone that will sell me the whole rear end of a parts bike.

I don't mean to sound repedative but, literally everything from the brake lines to the chain fit fine no extra slack? The bearings are the same and the axle carrier from the lt230 fits on the end of the lt250 swing-arm? Whats the difference between the two carriers, just beefiness?
