Wallrat Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 I know there's some OG's that have this, but I dunno if any of them are still around. I'm just trying to figure out what size tube/pipe you guys are using and what bearing carriers they'll fit. Ideally I'd like to find a carrier that will fit a common tube ID so I don't have to dick around with the lathe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkabina Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 Cotton eyed joe sells a conversion kit for this.It comes with everything including a carrier and brake caliper mounting plate.PM him.You can check his web-site for the kit. http://www.dunedevilinc.com/ JJ&A is another option.You can order everything from there web-site.Go to swingarm components. http://jjandaracing.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallrat Posted March 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 Yeah I know Stan's the man. I pm'd him awhile back about this same question and he gave me the specs on the carrier's he uses. I'm just trying to find out if I can avoid lathe time by switching carriers. I'm thinking I might start making arms myself to pay for a few banshee mods. Should have a jig together for shortening stock swingers by this weekend. I'm considering setting it up for roundhouses as well...Gotta keep the overhead down so that rules out buying kits.

Wallrat Posted March 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 Tried ebay? You might be running into a problem w/ them being too heavy-duty. Most folks needing an extended arm are duners, and duners don't like weight. HD -2's I can see selling better than HD +4's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
