BigRed350x Posted February 16, 2010 Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 I've never seen one of those before. I'm with loco, looks like a 1-off custom piece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PACIFIC NW BANSHEE Posted February 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 So it looks like it weighs just a hair over 10 pounds and it is a + 4 over swingarm.

Snopczynski Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 I have been doing this since 1993 and I have never, ever, seen a banshee swingarm like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireHead Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 Where did you come across that arm? I made a +4" arm for a stock carrier that looked kind of like that about 8 years ago and I let it go with my old yellow bike when I was still in skool..........

papa_smurf49319 Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 (edited) Now correct me if i am wrong but isnt unsprung weight a good thing to an extent just like on a car. If your leafs are over your axle then the weight of the axle will smooth out the ride? Btw very nice swinger for sure!

You smooth out the ride with the design of the suspension, not unsprung weight. Unsprung weight is usually something you "deal with" instead of designing it into a suspension system.
