OK shimmed it up and it does seem better. Even with the shim the swingarm wasn't that hard to fit in the frame so it definately needed it. Big thanks to Ken for the conversation and advice. Looks like it's going to be good with the shim. This is a full build so I will post some eye candy soon in...

OK, took some measurements. The hole on the frame tab is .642" The bolt dia. is .619" I can see where shimming under the left side metal cap on the swinger could make things better, it is a tad loose. I will try that tonight and report back, over and...

Basically the hole in the frame is larger than the bolt, it must have been messed up from the last owner as the bearings came out in pieces and dust, so the frame was the pivot point. The hole is not egg shaped, just a bigger round hole than the bolt, thus the offending slop therien:D Thanks...

Any advice on what tabs/brackets I can strip off? Where are the areas I should gusset (swingarm pivot, etc...) This is a dune only quad. It will not have oil injection or anything that isn't needed in the dunes. That means no airbox, skidplates, practically a drag quad. I will probably even...

Blastard, I picked up a complete custom dune banshee since we were heading to the dunes so often, I know the sickness. I have rode everything and nothing compares to a modified banshee! Don't worry about my son, you should see him rip on the ktm65. Already got a plan going on this blaster...

Just got a really ratty 92 blaster to move my 10yr old up from a really nice modified kasea 90 (it rips!) We stripped it down to the frame 1st day home (previous owner rattle canned the ENTIRE quad black, half of it is flaking off!) Father and son winter project, It is going to be dune only, He...
