No, the rear suspension is different. The drive shafts are inside the aluminum tubes, and then there is a chain reduction case, that acts as a trailing arm. This pivots the whole aluminum tube, and these are held in two large diameter bearings on the inside end. The shock/spring are near the bearings.
