Anyone know what the spec was.??

It's listed as a 98, and looks like the rear swing arm may have been changed. A popular mod IIRC.

Ya rear beam has been changed...

And thanks for spec list.. Lx will suit it..

LX will go nicely.
Whats wrong with the yellow?

nowt to do with it being a 'popular mod' - the swing arm cracked, I had two in the end.

Just think it will look better in white......

It would look more modern but I think it may loose some of it's retro ness.
I though the original swingarm was steel on these and they were replace because they were heavy?
Or was this actually your frame in the past lgf?

The shorline trail was the cromo rear end:



The aluminium swingarms were prone to cracking on the early bikes so they were often replaced under warranty with the later version with the feaux disc mounts.
