1980 Invader and 1980 LTD suspension differences
« on: January 28, 2013, 05:04:56 PM »
 

 Can anyone tell me the differences in the suspension between a 1980 LTD and a 1980 Invader?

 The spec sheet on the model identification page of this site they sure look different.

 Thanks

Lloyd, the stock invader suspension was pretty much the same 79 & 80 - very similar to the Intruder.  The LTD introduced the vari-ride with 4 springs - one on each corner.  They ride better than the stock suspension.

Invaders:   1980 440

Lloyd, I think that you need to get one.  Or two ;-)

lol

 Only one has the vari-ride. other has a polaris suspension.

  If I get them (95% chance I will) I already have a buyer for one.

  If I keep thinking about this I will be leaving a 5am to go get them.  :)
