What the heck kind of setup are you using for the rear
suspension?

only problem I see with alkyzillas is when you cut the wishbone
out of frame what did you do to support what the wishbone was
holding? all I had to do with mine is change that bottom bolt to
where it was in the frame like the 500 and the rest was new
motor mounts to the original 250 brackets real simple

The blue drag frame is a 87 and I'm using the wishbone for the
front motor mounts,..front is moved out 6".... the silver drag
frame with the motor in is a 86, front mounts just go down to
the lower frame rails..front is moved out 3"....The backbone has
been reinforced above the motor where the headstay would be
after a crack developed there. I have ran this chassis for a
long time with no other issues. The duner set up is a 86 frame
with tubes installed for standard lt500 front motor
mounts....front is moved out 4"
All the rear linkage is modeled after a Raptor, using a mix of
660 and 700 pieces. It gets the shock out of the way and so far
has cured all the cracking and bending issues I was experiencing
with long swingarms and all the leverage points being way up
front in the Suzuki design. (I like to run hard through the
whoops.....)
One of my 500 full frame duners has made 2 trips this season
with the setup, been ridden very hard, and I'm VERY happy with
it!
Of course it requires major frame mods to get the attachment
points and new swingarms too.
.......good thing for me the guys at Metaltech are into
"custom" +k2

Going thru some old stuff and came across this shot..goes well
with this thread. This is the Hybrid look that I decided to go
for, It uses the 500 fuel tank for extra capacity and plastics
match the front end being moved forward. Weight is 330 lbs full
of gas. This bike is apart now getting a makeover.

I got rid of the horrible stock shocks, cut the front frame off,
and bent all new tubing. Added front and rear YFZ450R shocks.
Shocks are smooth as silk.
