06BCBANSHEE Posted April 10, 2012 Author Report Posted April 10, 2012 (edited) Zach45. That set up looks sick!! Damn their both nice. ASR is selling them for 650 with the carrier. And they have 4 pinch bolts, and skid plate mounts. JL is a little cheaper , has 2 pinch bolts. Not sure if they have skid plate mounts? They both look like quality products . Anyone have the luxury of having to have tried both? Edited April 10, 2012 by 06BCBANSHEE Quote
06BCBANSHEE Posted April 10, 2012 Author Report Posted April 10, 2012 Most companies do use 4 pinch bolts but I havent had any issues with the 2 bolts on my JL swingarm. John could probably build yours so that it uses 4 bolts, or if you had any issues with just having 2 bolts he would take care of it. I SERIOUSLY doubt you will have ANY issues with having 2 pinch bolts. If there was a weakness in his swingarms I would have found it. If you really want 4 pinch bolts, talk to John, I bet he would hook you up. And yes, he can do skid plate mounts. I didnt get them on my arm because I ride 100% MX. Ya after watching that video on your review, pretty much shows how durable it is. No problems with them coming loose? Quote
zach45 Posted April 10, 2012 Report Posted April 10, 2012 I think 2 pinch bolts are fine... That wasent a factor when I had bought mine Quote
shakar Posted April 10, 2012 Report Posted April 10, 2012 (edited) mine has the 2 pinch bolts and i have never had an issue.imo id port that thing......huge gains for short money,jus make sure to go through a sponser .youll be crazy when its all done.. goodluck Edited April 10, 2012 by shakar Quote
06BCBANSHEE Posted April 10, 2012 Author Report Posted April 10, 2012 Ya the porting is gonna be a winter project. For now I'm getting the swing arm Quote
06BCBANSHEE Posted April 12, 2012 Author Report Posted April 12, 2012 Well I decided to order up a -1.5 JL swingarm. John is a awesome guy to deal with, prob the best customer service I have experienced buying something online. He answered every e mail promptly, no matter how stupid the question was. Most other companies wouldn't even respond to my email. He is also making it 4 pinch bolts. Just to be sure I will have no problems , since shipping parts to BC Canada is a bitch. Also he contacted many shipping companies to see what was cheapest. Skid late mounts, short brake line , beaing carrier , powder coat, all included at a cheap price, compared to everyone else. Can't wait to get it. If your looking for a swingarm go with JL , customer service is worth it alone!! Quote
zach45 Posted April 12, 2012 Report Posted April 12, 2012 Congrats. Post up after your first ride.. You won't be disappointed Quote

SandmanPNW Posted April 13, 2012 Report Posted April 13, 2012 What size did you end up ordering? I dunno whether do get flat black or gloss? My bike is all black Well, I got a plus 8 for my cub duner. IDK why the hell I'm posting in the mx section. lol. I would say just match up with the black already on the bike. Quote
So Cal Suspension Posted April 18, 2012 Report Posted April 18, 2012 Haha you both are going to be stoked with those swingarms. John and I have been talking about doing a full suspension package. It's something in the works, and I think it'll be awesome. Tons of bikes out there already run a JL Engineering swingarm with my shocks, so it was only a matter of time before we are able to put together a complete bolt-on package. Quote
