Yeah, you did say that. Very interesting thread. I saw it last weekend and have been following it ever since. When do you plan on finishing it?
Probably next weekend when we can get back into the shop when there's no supervisor there. LOL
And thanks for following the thread!Damn, I never saw that before or else I probly would have done that from the start
im in the process of making a bracket that bolts to the stock mount for a max travel rear shock and im using my yfz rear shock.......so ill let u know how it works out
I know it's been a while on this thread, but OK So we FINALLY got back to the shop and finished up my +4 swingarm. This thing is solid as hell, it isn't going to be breaking any time soon. I'm pretty damn proud of it. We even made the shock mounts 1/8 inch closer together to accommodate for the skinnier 400EX shock. It is +4 inches over stock. Here are 2 pictures, all ready for paint.
Thats some nice work , doesn't look like it will budge one bit . maybe for the stock rear shock mount you could mount up a eye hook. good place to attach a tow hook.
Thanks, and That's a pretty damn good idea Blastard. I might just mount a shackle in those holes. It'll work great just as long as the rope, chain, etc doesn't get caught in the sprocket or brake rotor
Lol the plate is kind of overkill but it ties EVERYTHING that we welded up together. It'll add just a little bit of weight, and I can just tell everyone it's a skid plate. HAHA.
wow those welds look just about factory, i mean besides location of them, they look very comparable to factory welds, i bet much stronger though. nice work
Wow!!! Didnt even know i started such a mess... But no im not a 14 yr old kid im much older than that and i definetly did not mean 2 bash any1... I was jus kidding around.. Im trying 2 get the hang of this forum thing.. I come on blasterforum once ina while so yea i dont post that much but i have gotten very usefull information from here.. I wrote that post a long time ago and i could admit it was kind of childish and i apologize 4 that and 2 any1 i offended..
i extended mine 3" in the centeer but the junts wer ziged zaged like a s so ther was more serfice area to weld and i used a peace of stock that was tihtly fited inside both peaces to make it more strong and for a safty if a weld broke the inside stock would hold the rere end insted of leting it come apart
