1985 Suzuki 250 quadrunner suspention kit

[CanyonMan]

Has anyone ever installed an aftermarket rear suspension kit for an 250 quadrunner? How hard are they to install and is it worth the labor?

Thanks

Not to bad, but didnot hold up worth a crap.

Sounds like I'd cancel that idea!

What wrong with what you have now?

[CanyonMan]

Nothing yet. I still have not done the maiden voyage yet. Waiting on tires

I received the atv in a "basket" for a 100 bucks ,so I've been putting the puzzle together for quite some time and have noticed I have a an aftermarket suspension kit for the rear from 1987 I think. Stuff is still unopened in original packaging. I don't do any serious driving with my other toys . Occational trail riding and putzing in the back yard with it. So no jumps or serious hard driving.

You could look to the internet for info by brand name of the parts manufacture and read reviews first. I'm new to quads If it gets good reviews then look at changing it out.

It's looking good

Well, do what you want, you do good work it seems!

Thank you.

I just finished restoring a 1983 honda 185s trike. Put about 200 miles on it last month and I was a little sore (NO SUSPENSION). So thats why I am interested in the rear on this project. I also just finished fabbing up a bracket for a front winch for it as well. I am a pipefitter so I do a fair amount of welding which is coming in very handy. I was also a machinist for 13 years so i got the mills and lathes for making what I need

how does this work with a suspension kit. Is it for the front? because they only have front so it shouldnt be hard.
