Am I getting took?

[Russ Henry]

I have the 04 Cr 250 and heard that the Factory Connection linkage significantly improved the rear suspension. I took the stock linkage off and compared it to the FC and there is no difference in the size or length of the parts. The only difference is the FC red anodizing. Whats up? I don't see how the FC linkage is going to do anything different if it is the same as the stocker. Russ

my opinion is, that there is absolutly nothing wrong with the stock linkage, so maybe ya got took. i also had issues with FC's oil lock collars beig identical to the stockers...im talking 100% identical...even had a military NDI lab x-ray and do the measurements for me...

Your observation speaks for itself, unless it's magic metal that stretches. ?

To verify your observation, take both pieces and lay them out on paper. Circle the bores, then measure center lines of bore center.
