Need pics of swingarm please guys!

[Hatchhonda19]

i extended mine +5'' and i think it makes it look perfect it makes it the same length of a average quad just about 6 feet ppl say it maybe to long to ride in the trails but i haven't had one problem with mine. im kinda wishing i made it +6". heres a few pics of mine

 

[ROCKSTAR]

the only problem, with making a stock one longer is it becomes quite heavy. plus i HATE the stock adjustments. i am a big advocate of round carrier swingarms. but i realize that for a blaster, they are very expensive.....

Dennis kirk sells a nice extended swingarm, for about $1000. I realy cant see spending a grand for a swingarm though, after wheels, tires, brake lines and everything else one would want to get with a long swingarm, you'll spend enough to just buy a banshee. To each his own though. E-rbody is differant. I'll keep on rockin my aluminum extension bracket.
As far as the stock adjustments, loosen 2 bolts, & turn the adjusters. It only takes me about 90 seconds to adjust.

Aluminum extension bracket? The one that extends it 2" where it mounts to the carrier?

 

[WHEELIE_DOG_13]

Yes, it bolts between the carrier and swingarm, but its +3"

 

[WHEELIE_DOG_13]

But that swingarm for $300 sounds pretty good, looks good too. Was that new? Or used?

 

[WHEELIE_DOG_13]

Anyway my aluminum one is 1" thick and showing no signs of wear. And i ride hard.

Hey, there's someone on ebay selling replica stock swingarms in +2" up to +8" $200 in primer or $300 chromed. Its an inexpensive alternative, but again it wont look as cool or be as light as a big dollar piece.

 

[blasterfreek30]

^ are they from the swingarm shop??........ive had nothing but bad luck with them, crack...weld....crack...weld...i finally reinforced it and its been good since

I saw that....I was wondering if the vendor (The swingarm shop) had some good feedback from you guys here on the forum? Seems to have a good rep on ebay...but then again everyone was satisfied with the shipping but say nothing about the quality of testing them out....

 

[WHEELIE_DOG_13]

Well, thats good to know. Has anybody tried to bolt on a banshee swingarm? That would mean a better axle & brakes too? Just wondering...

 

[callmej75]

Yeh I read the Banshee swinger is a no-go without extensive modification.

 

[callmej75]

What do you guys think about the front lowering kit? Read a little and it says it does hinder jumping...but adds to stability and widens the track by 2".

 

[WHEELIE_DOG_13]

I wouldnt do it, the blaster has a good ampount of travel. Theres 5" widening kits on ebay for $25 shipping included, then flip the wheels...

 

[callmej75]

Yeh I'm digging this Diamond J 6" widening kit with shock conversion.....been reading lengthy threads about this kit and people seem to like it more than dislike. This way it gives you more options for shock upgrades for the front end....especially on a budget.

I need to concentrate on getting this rear extended first and foremost....if anyone runs across any good extended swingarms for sale then please let me know!

 

[2kuik4muharemovic]

if your still looking for a swinger pm me

 

[WHEELIE_DOG_13]

Ok, i uploaded pix to my profile. I put 3 pix of the 3" bracket that extends the stock swinger & carrier. I just dont know the url, or what a url is, so, i couldnt put pix on this thread. But, you can look @ my albums to see.

 

[callmej75]

That one looks to be more beefy than the 2" extension that they sell....

I just ordered a 3+ swinger from the swingarm shop last night for $200 but it looks like it may need one more strengthening support going across it to help it be more sturdy.

Once I get that in, I'm gonna put that on with the 400EX shock I got from a forum member, my new reeds, and go through my carb and rebuild it.

Unless a 28mm carb is better performance with a stock motor? If that is so, I may buy a used one of those and rebuild it and slap it on. I'm just worried that with a stock motor, going to a bigger carb would require machine work done to the motor to achieve my optimum flow from the bigger carb. Doesn't seem like much a step up in size tho...
