Geoff Posted October 24, 2006 Report Posted October 24, 2006 (edited) Saw there swingarms on Ebay... 4130 chromoly, round tube, chromed w/carrier, and braket for caliper for $455 including the carrier. This seems to good to be true....anyone ran across these or got one? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/banshee-swi...042834521QQrdZ1 Edited October 24, 2006 by Geoff Quote
locogato11283 Posted October 24, 2006 Report Posted October 24, 2006 yea im pretty sure my bro bought one of those one time off ebay. claimed to be professionally tig welded. the welds looked like shit. didnt even look like tig. looked like terrible mig welding. the chrome was bad and cracking. he sent the thing back. i wouldnt have put my ass on it...

dajogejr Posted October 24, 2006 Report Posted October 24, 2006 I've heard the same. Search on ebay for the swingarm shop. never heard a bad thing about 'em...quality work, good prices....good service. Quote
Geoff Posted October 24, 2006 Author Report Posted October 24, 2006 Thanks dajogejr, locogato11283 I figured it was something like that, to good of price. I'm not in the market quite yet just seeing whats out there as far as prices. I've ckecked out T-dub since he's local(20min away) and he seems to make a good piece. Dajogejr, I'll check them out when the time comes thanks man. Quote
dajogejr Posted October 24, 2006 Report Posted October 24, 2006 I'll be selling mine in a few months....stock style carrier, steel, +6...it's heavy...but, it works. I'm going 14 over so....my swinger won't be needed. Up to you...depending on your time frame....I'll give it away for a steal (I got it for one... Quote
Geoff Posted October 24, 2006 Author Report Posted October 24, 2006 dajogejr, I've already got the stock style +6, it was on the bike when I bought it... I want to switch over to the honda style carrier. How much are the stockers like ours going for? I have not idea what to sell it for when the time comes. Thanks for the offer though....I would if I didn't already have it. Quote
Big Blue Posted October 25, 2006 Report Posted October 25, 2006 I bought one of thier swingarms and mine doesnt have any of the probems Stevens did, either he got one of the bad ones or I got a good one. Quote
MDS2106 Posted October 25, 2006 Report Posted October 25, 2006 (edited) Check out quadwerks on e-bay he has some really good prices on traction shit.... He has a web site also, www.quadwerks.com Edited October 25, 2006 by MDS2106 Quote

I wonder if it's the same company. I got the web style from them, and it was pretty nice when i got it. Welds looked good, chrome was decent. The only flaw on it was the round piece where the carrier slides in. The steel had some kind of wrinkle in it that you couldn't see bare most likely, but when it was chromed you could see it if you were looking directly at it. Quote

Its cool man, I cant make it either. Just got word my cylinders are done being ported so now hes gonna fix up the thread on my RDZ jugs and I shall have them back soon. I will be there opening week though as long as nothing terrible happens. Quote

I got the 3/4 tube one also after talking to your brother at sahra and he said they backed it up 100% I figured I would give them a shot. I think for a while they were selling swingarms and they were being shipped from somewhere else that may have been the issue Stephen had was it came from someone else, not sure what happend with his but I can say mine is a nice part.
