Tommygunn Posted November 30, 2012 Report Share Posted November 30, 2012 Finally got around to getting the bike out to finish up the build. Need to put a swingarm on it. I was having a hard time deciding on either +4 or +6 but i think i'm going to go with the +4. Are these good arms? anybody run them? http://www.ebay.com/itm/2-4-6-8-10-12-Powdercoat-Gloss-Black-BANSHEE-Swingarm-Yamaha-Swing-arm-/251171282997?pt=Motors_ATV_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3a7af9a035&vxp=mtr The bike will used for mostly riding at Busco beach in NC. Drag racing and just riding around in the open (no muddy trails), with a week long trip riding Glamis every year. I like the looks of the +6 but feel it's too much for cutting up and having fun? Anyway..Going to order a arm today. Are these any good? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troyzstang Posted November 30, 2012 Report Share Posted November 30, 2012 Just my opinion but I would look around for a used one. I would also consider a + 6 if your going to run the drag. Troy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommygunn Posted November 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2012 How would a +6 do on the jumps? I don't want to build a "drag only" bike. More of a an "all around" bike that does good on the track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More of a an "all around" bike that does good on the track. Ive lightly jumped this +5.5" without any strange things happening. But i dont do the big-air stuff. Mostly whoops,and dune jumps. All sand riding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommygunn Posted December 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2012 I ended up ordering a +6 off ebay for $230 shipped. I know it's not the best but i'm just ready to get this bike done. I'm a machinist in a fab shop so if it looks weak, i'll beef it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
421alkybanshee Posted December 3, 2012 Report Share Posted December 3, 2012 you should have bought one with a round house carrier! stock SUCKS!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
So Cal Suspension Posted December 3, 2012 Report Share Posted December 3, 2012 DOH!!!! I wish I would have seen this thread sooner. I could have gotten you a MUCH better swingarm, with a round house carrier for an insane price. Next time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troyzstang Posted December 3, 2012 Report Share Posted December 3, 2012 Just my opinion. I think you may have made a mistake going to Ebay. Great deals to be had here. Good luck though. Troy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommygunn Posted December 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2012 I could always sell it and get another one later if it doesn't work out. I really wanted it in black, but roundhouse would be nice. What kind of price are we talking for a used roundhouse in black? All the ones i could find were $350+ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
So Cal Suspension Posted December 8, 2012 Report Share Posted December 8, 2012 I can get you a brand new JL Engineering +6 roundhouse style, powder coated any color you want for $315. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
