dave5.0 Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 Is that carrier a RAD or something like that? They used to make something like that. Don't know if they are even in business still. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't mind me asking, what approximate geographic location did you get the bike from? If that carrier doesn't have any engraving on it, and has tapered or cartridge style bearings, then there is a pretty good chance it's off of one of my old bikes. Do most of the fasteners on the arm look like they are alternatively marked aerospace grading types? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FireHead Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 mark, the guy is from the pacific northwest so hes right up in your area. I saw that. I just didn't want to claim the arm as being one of mine if he had bought the bike from Maine..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bansheesandrider Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 (edited) That carrier looks just like the tapered bearing carrier I have on my bike, except mine has Banshee engraved on it. Mine came from a place called Alloy Specialties, they were a shop in Battle Ground, WA, and I bought mine at the third Dunefest held at Winchester Bay. I think they have gone out of business because I can't find anything for them on the web, I was trying to get some extra seals and bearings to have on hand and did not want to take apart what I have to get part numbers. But that swingarm is sweet and I want one like it. Edited February 18, 2010 by bansheesandrider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll see if I can find pictures of it on one of my bikes or when I was making it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stellar Performance Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 I would think it would be hard to claim a carrier housing like that. Alot of companies have built those, RAD mfg., RPM, Magnum, LSR and others. I cannot recall if it was RAD or RPM that was offering aluminum stock style swingarms similar to this one a while back, but one of the companies were doing it even before LSR was offering there aluminum drag swingarms.
