04Banshee Posted January 29, 2004 Report Share Posted January 29, 2004 After doing some research, I have to decided to get a -2 swing arm for the trail riding I do and for the extra traction that you pick up on it. Who makes a cheap, but good swing arm for the banshee? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proquad101 Posted January 29, 2004 Report Share Posted January 29, 2004 Have somebody cut your swingarm dont pay the big bucks for the aftermarket ones. A cut stock swingarm works great I run a -2 and -4 swingarm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bri98 Posted January 29, 2004 Report Share Posted January 29, 2004 I have a quicksand -1 last year I paid 475 powdercoated WITH an anodized blue round housing carrier.no more bullshit chain adjuster. That is 200-300 cheaper than the big names and it fits, looks and performs great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

04Banshee Posted January 29, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2004 thanks everyone. 421 stroker- Are you selling this or is it something you saw on ebay? If you are, why you selling it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
421stroker Posted January 29, 2004 Report Share Posted January 29, 2004 Thinking about getting a longer one for the sand. I already have a stocker for the dirt. I guess I just changed my mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmatt Posted January 30, 2004 Report Share Posted January 30, 2004 If you have the $$$ for an aftermarket swingarm, then go for it. With the aftermarket swingarm you can switch to a round house carrier design which is supposed to make adjusting the chain a whole lot easier. Plus most of them use round or oval tubing, which just plain looks good. If you plan to go this route, I would look into Quicksand Fabrications. I haven't heard a single complaint about Quicksand Fabrications. Except for one chrome plating problem, but they took care of it immediately. This is the type of company that I like dealing with. If you can't afford the aftermarket swingarm and have fabrications skills, then go to the post below and shorten it for yourself. http://www.bansheehq.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=18347 If you don't like either of the options above, then check your in-basket, because I just sent you a PM.

Cotton eyed Joe Posted January 30, 2004 Report Share Posted January 30, 2004 I am having some swingarms welded saturday, and I got a good carrier done today, and I plan on making about 12 of them this weekend as time permits. One of the swingarms is a -2, and the other is a +6. They will come with all bearings, brake mount, and matiching length braided steel brake line. I hope to have them together and ready for powdercoat or chrome within a week. PM me if you are interested, or for details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
04Banshee Posted January 31, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2004 Thanks everyone. I think I am going to get an aftermarket one. The Janssen one looks really nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meat Posted January 31, 2004 Report Share Posted January 31, 2004 only bitch about the janssen is, its gonna cost you about $250 more than the quicksand swingarm. Shop wisely grasshopper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
04Banshee Posted February 1, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2004 Is there any other ones I should consider besides quicksand or is it the best you can get? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
