Bad Ass Fabrication (STAY AWAY!)

This wasnt done though bhq, but i do know he said he had built swingarms for pretty much most atvs.

 

Well i only have a hand full of rides on his +4 Ladder Bar swingarm and its busted, i dont mx. He had his swingarms listed for mx, trails, hills, dune, drag, etc. I should have took pics of his website but the fucker appearently closed it down. I sent a email, no reply, called and left messages no call back or and response at all. I bought it back in April 2012 and it sat on the shelf after powder for a while but the first ride was October 2012. With only trail riding and hill climbing maybe 20 rides and it broke, i couldnt figure out how it held up to mx. So im out 500 bucks,400 swinger, 50 bearings, 50 powder and my time and inconvience. Also the money, time, bearings, powder etc to replace it.  Welp thanks for the fucking ya gave me! BEWARE

Sorry about your swinger. I ordered a bolt on arched style grab bar from Anthony. Told him what i wanted and had it in my hands within a week. 

He was priced right and the finished product was perfect.

 

Just saying

BAFab (or whatever he goes by now)is a douche and a lair.

 

Just for my own info though, what causes the metal around a weld (looks like it was a TIG) to crack like that? Too much heat?

[LowlyOilBurner]

It's called heat affected zone cracking. This happens when too much heat is used, the area just outside the weld cracks, by the toes of the weld as shown in the one pic. Tig is used a lot to join chromo because you can control the heat a lot better than gmaw. But you can obviously over heat it too, and chromo doesn't like that shit, gets brittle and can crack.
