Hi Ira,

The 240 bar does indeed look like a 700/900 bar. The original doesn't seem to have welded pieces but is bent and flattened at the end instead. It has two mounting holes, one of which bolts to the shock absorber bolt, the other bolts to a little spacer plate, the other end of which bolts to the rear axle bolt, offsetting the bar about an inch or so downward from same rear axle bolt. That's why I mentioned "persuading to fit" - that spacer plate gives a bit of flexibility to pound it into fitting. I might just try it on a spare rear end/trailing arm assembly I've got, if it fits...
