A motorcycle including a main frame, a rear swing frame, and a pull shock
assembly operatively disposed between the main frame and the rear swing
frame. The swing frame is pivotally mounted to the main frame. The main
frame includes a pair of slide tracks that receive a slide member of the
pull shock assembly. A link arm extends between a forward portion of the
swing frame and the slide member, and translates pivotal movement of the
swing frame into sliding longitudinal movement of the slide member. A
damper associated with the slide member restricts sliding movement of the
slide member and, thus, pivotal movement of the swing frame. The link has
a forward end secured to the swing frame and a rearward end secured to
the slide member.
