Can't remember if I've asked this before but anyway..

Looking a putting the top braced 750w arm into a slingshot 750. 

I know its a pretty straight swap but what linkage and shock should I be using with it?

Don't just want it in but working as it should.

W and  slingshot linkages have the same geometry.  but the bolt and bearing sizes are different. Iirc simplest way is to use the slingshot shock and w linkage. Then it all bolts together no hassle, Just need to sleeve the swingarm pivot.

Worth running 10-15mm shorter dog bones to raise the rear is you want the chassis to handle really nicely.

Brilliant, cheers for that, exactly what I wanted to hear (y)

Ratio at the dogbones is between 2,5:1 and 3:1.

If you shorten them so much you'll get 40-45mm at the wheel that's way too much. 

5mm is more than enough for me.

Worked well on my 750m.
