Re: XL250 Trans-America Hell Ride

XL/RM mockup
This swinger is off a 1984 XL250. It's an early steel Pro Link. The frame is 1973 XL175. The stock XL swinger is too short for the new suspension geometry, so I need to find an alternative no matter what. The first pic is the 84 XL front end (33") and the second is the RM (36"). Stock XL175 is 26". Having done real trail riding on the 175, one thing is certain- the suspension sucks. All in all, nothing on this bike will be "correct" per se.
