I took a peek at the Yamaha rear suspension design. It's a fairly simple yet effective swing arm.

Way back in the day when I raced motocross, it was the beginning of gas shocks for dirt bikes, and even more important is we could weld different top mounts and "lay down" the shocks for more travel. Just like today's front end systems we could go from 3" of travel to 6" and it made a world of difference.

I wonder if anyone ever took the Yamaha rear swing arm and attached it to an EZ-GO? Welding for the main connection and the "Pan bar?" would need done.....but would that get longer rear travel?

I don't wanna steer this post off course, but I will start a new thread if this is something that's possible.
