homemade extended +4 swingarm

[NEONNIGHT34609]

give me your thoughts. good, bad, hurt my feelings i dont mind. i still need to do alittle more clean up and paint but this is pretty much done. would you use it? +4 swinger. the extended inserts go 2 inches into the swing arm on both sides then welded to the stock swinger. i mostly trail ride and dont really get crazy i am to old for that crap.

is it straight? if so i'd run it. maybe not hard core mx racing but i'd run it. i would like to ask why you went through all the trouble of moving the shock mount to the stock location and didnt do the 20 mins of extra work to make it long travel?

looks good bro, i'd run it

 

[1995blaster]

if you dont wanna run it send it to me it can be a donation to my new build

Hell yea I'd run it. Those welds look awesome. I say GREAT. Hell, I'd send you mine before tater it looks so good!




(no offense tater, you make some sexy swingarms)

 

[NEONNIGHT34609]

its straight. i like the way my blaster rides and to be honest i didn't know about long travel for blasters. making the shock mount at the factory location was pretty easy and figured it would add strength

Looks sick man i'd rip it. That's exactly how I'm gonna do mime but I'm ginna try the long travel mount

Nice job Boss.........

I wouldn't go doing any 60 foot doubles on it but I'd trail ride the piss out of it. Looks good man!

Is that stick welded?

 

[NEONNIGHT34609]

the 4+ extension was wire welded but people at my job dont know how to take care of things and the stinger took a sh*t so i had to finish the center shock mount with a stick....

Looks good, run the hell out of it.

Looks good to me !! Pretty good welds. You do them? Sooner or later I want to do a longer swinger, gotta get a good shock first, plus study up on the extended travel action.

On a side note: on a mig it's usually refered to as the gun or nozzle, stick welder as stinger. If you ever pick one up in the wet you'll know why.

 

[NEONNIGHT34609]

yes i did the welds myself. i was referring to the Gun, Torch, Stinger, Whip,Leads, so on and so forth. not the welder as a whole.I:I have had all the good things that welding has to offer happen to me. including a BAD case of welders flash not fun at all.

Where im from we refer to the tip of a mig and tig tip, or area of arc the stinger. But I can see the referrence to picking up a hot stick welder while soaked would use that name as well. I laughed pretty hard when I read that!
