And yes, the 2 link is just fine for bags
Its gonna be a pain though to get it to lay out w/ anything short of a full custom back half w/ the stock trailing arms though. But yes I agree their all good to use if you plan on that.

Re: yet one more question about Z'ed frames

my 82 is Zed 3" and drop spindles, obviously did not get the drop member(wish I could have), and I am aware that the susp in the rear is different, but a parallel 4 link from KP and over the axle bags and its draggin frame...
