I wouldn't expect anything less for KOR!
heres the link, prices are on there
http://kenoconnorracing.com/Yamaha Blaster Swing Arms.html
plus the money i wasted on failing powder coat
that's actually priced really good comparsion towds asr an lonestar for a good swinger
exactly.......cheaper than new + a-arms, neither of which i'd cheap out on and risk my life, this ain't no joke here where i ride
God forbid you spend a few bucks on a quality swingarm when you can get some elcheapo chinese crap off of fleabay and save a few bucks. I mean it's only a swingarm, it's not like it holds the wheels on or anything
Its $150 more than the ones on flebay.(with bearings n seals) People forget that they are spending the first $250 regardless of what they are getting.You are getting ALOT for $150 IMHO! If your spending $250 why in the world would you bawk at the $150 more for such a high end piece!!! These things are night and day in the differences!! But thats just me! Look at my user name!! LOL Oh well!!! "Speed cost money! How fast you wanna go$$?!!"
in my honest opinion this applies to cheaping out with a hacked together extended stock arm, not the strongest to begin with, but hey, that stamped steel is held together with good strong material and ground down welds to look pretty.
the extended stocker on my sons is one of the nicest home brews i've ever seen, with nice, untouched welds, that can be seen thru the powder coating.
and i do not jump that bike more than a few feet off the ground, just not worth funding some proctologist kids college fund
We haven't made a long travel yet but we have it mapped out. I'm still thinking that a Banshee rear shock and linkage is the way to go. It looks doable unless I'm missing something. I'm pretty sure all we have to do is relocate the shock mount to accept the linkage and weld taps on the back of the frame to lock in the front. The swinger I've been running for the last two years is the prototype of the T-Rock. I've had no issues. I never sold my Blaster ($3300 was too much I guess) so I think we're going to give the Banshee set-up a shot this winter. I know Tarmo is up for it. Let's see if I can get Ian and Dave to spin some wrenches and make this happen.
Not at all too much for a swinger and I wish they were being made at the time I bought mine. If you consider an ASR is 650, Janssen is 6-7, Racesin is 6 without carrier. LSR is 7-9 depending where you buy. The only cheaper swing is a swingarm shop ... I have one and will tell you how bad it sucks and the PC started flaking after a few rides. You get what you pay for but just by looks and reviews a KOR would be my first choice for replacement.
not trying to get into anything here, but those prices are unbelievable. I know what it takes to build a jig to set up a swingarm build for proper tollerances. They are giving these away! If that is too much for a new and WELL built swinger then friend you are in the wrong hobby. My son bent a stock swinger by almost 1/2 inch side to side, the left rear wheel was 3" off the ground and the right one touching. I have to believe anyone who rides hard is foolish to extend a stocker as it has to weaken it even more. i would never let my kid ride one I dont care who builds it and what they try to say about it.(no offense to anyone making them this is my opinion) I waited until I could afford a good swinger and found a good deal. A Lonestar is $750-$900 and an ASR is over $600. That crap they sell on ebay from swingarm shop would be ok for a drag quad or duner but anyone hitting a track and catching air is foolish to use them. Remember they may only be $250 but when you break it and have to buy another one you could have been money ahead. Just addin my .02
bunch of reasons..........
sh*ts rough here, i don't 1/2 ass stuff, it's a very long walk home from some places i ride, safest/strongest swinger made, ect. ect.
what you see below is about 1/2 speed for me, and theres miles and miles of it, one of our members broke an ebay swinger here ......
heres another little rip through a trail of football to basketball sized rocks.......
