Ice Racing Banshee Setup (no link swinger?)

[plugitin]

Setting a 421 Cheetah Shee I got for ice racing this winter.  I have lots of questions.  Mainly thought, I'm curious to a no link swinger on one.  I have works shocks on this thing (not sure of length in rear). I would like to get a shortened swingarm for it. I have the option of getting a no link setup for a very good price thats shortened 2.5 inches with a roundhouse carrier. 

 

Ive read many posts from long ago that guys have moved their upper shock mount on the rear rearward an inch or two to run a stock shock on linkless swingarm.  The bike will most likely only see dirt oval and ice oval. Im just curious if this is a viable option or not, I have no issues with welding on some new tabs and gussets to save a few bucks and being able to use a stock ish rear shock.

Never seen it done but that doesn't mean it won't work... I just use a rebuilt and shortened stock shock on mine and love it

I need a swingarm regardless, the stock one it was extended and done horribly.  I am not opposed at all on running a linked setup, i'll just have to find a swinger that will work.  Thoughts on a stock swingarm shortened? I've heard issues of chain adjustment with the stock carrier? 

 

And trickedcarbine, any special secrets you can share?

No secrets, it's all been done before and it works.

 

Ditch that stock swinger.

I have a -1 on mine and really wish I had gone -2. But definitely get a roundhouse.

You ever toss that -2.5 no link swinger on there?
