my buddy has an 85 Lt250r and he needs a new swingarm. we found a 89 lt250r swingarm will it fit on the 85 and is a 100$ a good price.thanx

 

No it will not fit, the 85 and 86 are unique.
the 85 and 86 has a round bearing housing, and the 87 - 92 has a square housing. The 91 and 92 actually have a totally diferent shock lever setup from the 87-90, so there are 3 variations of quadracer swingarms.

 

Look on Ebay I always see 85-86 swingarms out there.
