Converting Swingarm from 1987 to a 2003

[350miller]

Will everything on my 1987 banshee swing arm work with the 2003 swing arm. I'll be using the bearing carrier from the 2003. The 2003 is what they call a round house style isn't it? The threads are stripped out on the 1987 swingarm and it is a pain to adjust the chain.

If you can get the swingarm and carrier from the newer model it will fit right on your '87. Roundhouse is the Honda style swingarm with an eccentric axle carrier, just loosen two bolts and use a tool to twist the carrier to tighten chain. 2 minute job!

Is that how you tighten the chain on the honda or yamaha? If not the yamaha how do you do it? Good to hear everything will fit.

You may need to add a washers to the top bolt of the carrier between the swingarm and the carrier. I think on the 87's they have a washer welded to the outside and on the newer ones it's on the inside.

When I went from a 88' to 02' I noticed that the brake line was also too short. The 02' brake caliper is mounted further back. Good excuse to buy a nice new braided steel line.
