Don,t think the 91-92 use the link.Shock goes from the swinger to the frame with no dog bone or pivot.
Can,t fix stupid.:)

91-92 frame is also different where the upper shock mounts and where the lower linkage mounts to the frame.

just look for a 87-90 swingarm.  theres plenty out there.   could even use a 85-86 swingar but there prone to cracking around the bearing carrier.

Hey guys I have another question the reason I think I need a new swing arm is because where it bolts thru the motor one side of the round part where the bolt slides thru is broken would I be able to weld that back together and get some use out of it? I can post a pic if it'll help your response

Yes, but it's 1 or 2 inches shorter than the 250 swinger, so it would only be useful for flattrack/ ice, and still might be too short.
