    thor swingarm.jpg Hi all
    I bought a 76 250CR with a Thor swingarm. Anyone have any experience with these? The shocks are 17 1/2 inches long. Is it worth running this suspension? Or should I find a stock swingarm?

    I have fox gas shocks for it too. They need rebuilding and new shaft's.
    I'm thinking of putting 40mm forks on it. Stock forks look a little short with this rear set up.
