Why I called swingarm shop arms licorice
- Thread starter phragle
- Start date
Pilethru the whoops at 70 mph with a +2 swingerarm, wide axle and offset wheel, puts quite a load on one.......
no idea, that one is .120 wall mild steel. My cromoly one is the same if not lighter than stock. .095 moly is stronger than .120 mild steel
That is actually an older swingarm shop swingarm.There new design the shock mount tube penetrates through the side and they add an additional tube for bracing.That design is alot better than their previous one(pictured above).Yours is deffinately strong as bull thats for sure,and looks sweet.The gussets are the way to go.I think it is time for you to start producing some!!! lol
that would be awesome but none of us could afford it i'm sure. my price limit for a swinger is about 600 with a good coating powdercoat/chrome
looks a lot like my Laeger's, but the shock mount on mine looks a little odd, i haven't actually checked the geometry, going to do that soon and possibly move it
Considering the fact that I learned what I know about making swingarms in his shop..............
Lest you forget I have known Doug Roll, Mark Leager and Dean sundahl since the mid 80's
It's always been my opinion that a place like the swingarm shop could make the swingarms we need if they where really listening. They have the market & tooling to do arms right. They're already set up with the equipment. I say they hire phragle as a consultant and give Blaster owners what they want!
IMHO .. burp

I have thought labor and material wise, if the swing arm shop guy would sell say 5 or 10 swing arms bare, no powdercoating... it would almost be cost effective to take them, cut them up and put them back together...If I could get swing arms from him for 150, I could beef them ad long travel shock mount and turn them around for 425 powdercoated even...
i'd want to know exactly what they're making those things out of before even bothering with it though. i think there's a good chance that using cheap/thin steel is part of the issue with them
my guess is .120 mild steel. The problem is they are not cross braced enough. think of the torsional load they recieve...
