I've been wondering for awhile if you could fab a dog bone linkage on the blaster swingarm , and if you could what would be the pros and cons to it?
 
That's a good but tough question to answer :eek:.

Shorter shock length is one pro. As is having a variable rate of arm movement vs. shock travel. As the arm moves in compression it has less leverage against shock, simular to variable rate spring. Also allows for a shorter shock.

Cons: Complexity=more parts.
Fabrication: Say if you were to copy the Banshee geometry, very careful measurments would need to be taken. I would dare to guess that even 1/16" would throw it way off. X(

I have seen mention of Banshees and TRX250r going to link less, I don't know particulars though.
