+4 is mine!

[ant_mb]

After trying to work out a couple deals I decide to push the button on a new +4 swing arm for the Swingarm shop. I can't wait to get it installed with my +5 front and +5 rear. It should make it a real beast.

Hear is the one I picked up. Picks will follow.

Why is that? Can't give neg details and no reason.

 

[brandoz28]

a couple members have cracked those swingarms but most of them ride pretty hard

Well I haven't had any experience with their swingers, but quite a few people on here have bought them and it has broken on them, just ask freek he had to reinforce the hell out of it for it to hold up I think it broke in like 3 places. Or you can also ask yb200 he has seen one of those swingers before from another member on here it was broken also

 

[ant_mb]

I don't ride hard, and they offer a 1 year warrenty so I'll use it if needed.

 

[blasterdude14]

Ok, good luck man

That's what I've read, and am hoping is true.

 

[REEDracing94]

thought you didn't have a blaster anymore?

 

[REEDracing94]

my step bro does

 

[blasterdude14]

oh ok i was confused for a second

 

[doc_speeder]

The re-design with the tube-through looks MUCH better. If so, you really cant go wrong for that price. You will like the longer swingarm. Much more stability at high speed, and easier hill climbs without the front wheels getting so light. The downsides are slightly less "dig", and a bit less agility in tight corners, but overall they work good. I'm thinking of going down to a +2 just to see which I like better, but I'll try some different shock geometry on my +4 first.

 

[yb200]

did they change the design for all the swingers i thought that was just the HD ones

 

[REEDracing94]

There all HD now. I think? I wish I would have bought one when I had a blaster. They make it feel soo much better

 

[ant_mb]

Here are a few pics as promised. It is a freaking beautiful piece. The welds and quality seem 1st rate.

 

[blasterfreek30]

thats not the heavy duty one, make sure that he is clear with u on the warrenty......i had 2 of those break right at the shock mount tubing welds....same spot on both swingers

 

[blasterfreek30]

the new ones have the all the way through shock mount tube and 2 extra braces, which should get rid of the cracking issue

good catch freek, i'm gonna buy one of them next winter and reinforce it alot!!!! if i don't win the yb swinger
