motodrumer58 Posted February 9, 2009 Report Posted February 9, 2009 I want to shorten my stock swing arm down -2 . Has anyone ever cut one. what mods are needed once its cut? a pic would be great. Thanx Quote
locogato11283 Posted February 9, 2009 Report Posted February 9, 2009 its a simple process. cut it behind the shock mount. take out as much as you want. align it back up and weld it up. ive done about 10 of them. Quote
ban99 Posted February 9, 2009 Report Posted February 9, 2009 Here's one I did not too long ago Like Loco said, you want to cut behind the shock mount. I added some 1/4 plate on the outside and 1x2 boxed steel on the inside. Hope this helps. Quote

jinx44 Posted February 9, 2009 Report Posted February 9, 2009 I have a shortened stocker that I raced on a couple years ago before switching to a roundhouse -1. I might as well sell it if you are interested since I probably won't ever use it. Powdercoated yellow. Quote

serius4play Posted February 11, 2009 Report Posted February 11, 2009 ehhhh.... so u shorten it for racing on dirt? cuz on sand i have a 6in extended arm and 2nd gear take off and it will flip over backwords if i had one that short i deff would. So better traction on dirt? Quote

So better traction on dirt? sand hooks harder than dirt. its hard to find a dirt tire that will hook hard with higher hp motors, so a lot of people run a shortened swingarm. that moves the rear tires in closer so that more of your weight is sitting directly over them. this helps with traction.
