badassbanshee479 Posted July 8, 2005 Report Posted July 8, 2005 just got back from the dunes bike ran great only problem I had was trying not to flip over backward. My question is, who makes a good swing arm in the +4-+6 range and should I get the honda style carrier or stay with the stock type, also what is involved in switching to the honda style? Quote
Cotton eyed Joe Posted July 8, 2005 Report Posted July 8, 2005 just got back from the dunes bike ran great only problem I had was trying not to flip over backward. My question is, who makes a good swing arm in the +4-+6 range and should I get the honda style carrier or stay with the stock type, also what is involved in switching to the honda style? 390248[/snapback] I'll go ahead and say it. I make a good swingarm. I make my own carriers and brake mounts as well. I make them out of 1 3/8 4130 chromoly tubing, all TIG welded by a Utah State Certified Welder and the carriers come loaded and ready to accept your axle. I also use a CNC mill to notch the tubing, not a hole saw. So the runners of the swingarm are EXACTLY the same. Plus I can make the swingarm in between and odd ball sizes. You want it 2.5 inches longer or 5.438 longer...doesn't matter much. All that is involved in switching to a honda style carrier is ordering your new swingarm, and throwing the stock piece of shit in the nearest dumpster. I have a +6 in stock right now. Everything else is going to be about 2-3 weeks depending on if you want it powder coated or chromed. Fabricating them as they are ordered actually helps me keep my costs where they are at. Stan Quote
Cotton eyed Joe Posted July 8, 2005 Report Posted July 8, 2005 can you make a -1 .... .....? 390269[/snapback] I can go as short as -2.5....I think. I need to check my jig, but I know it will go -2, so a -1 would be just as easy. Quote

Its bare btw. Personally I think a +6 is better for drag racing, and I can't say I've heard of someone trail riding on a +6. Quote
