Bansh-eman Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 better adjustment, larger and stronger bearings, rebuildable, allows for differnat diameter axles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dajogejr Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 You can get 40mm bearings for a stock carrier... The two biggest advantages are easier/cleaner chain adjustment AND NOT having to worry if the axle is straight/true or not. As long as the swingarm is built in a quality jig by a competent fab/welder, you can't have the left or right side more off set than the other.

decon Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 This guy makes chromoly swingarms for $255 http://motors.shop.ebay.com/merchant/duner00 I was thinking about purchasing one myself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killshee Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 I will never own a swingarm without a round carrier again. The stock carriers make me want to fly to Japan and assasinate the ceo of Yamaha Motor Corporation. 2x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ban99 Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 This guy makes chromoly swingarms for $255 http://motors.shop.ebay.com/merchant/duner00 I was thinking about purchasing one myself Unless I read it wrong that's $255 for a bare metal one and $305 for powdercoated. Then you have to puchase the carrier seperate. Not a horrible price but there are better deals to be had I.M.O. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
05Special Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 I rode on a +4 for about 30 minutes before i rolled the shock mount and snapped all the welds. If you are a hard rider, I wouldn't recommend it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you have to puchase the carrier seperate. Not a horrible price but there are better deals to be had I.M.O. It says it can be used with a stock carrier. If thats true I might look into that if all I have to buy is the arm and the powdercoat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a horrible price but there are better deals to be had I.M.O. yah your right its $255 for bare and $305 for powdercoated And I agree that you can find a better deal. I just bought a black Powerdercoated +2 off a BHQ member for $200, roundhouse carrier style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
