can you show a pick of the break i really want to get one of these seems cheap. is the +3 or 4 better for trails thats mostly what i do.. and also what are some wider a arms i can get without having to mod anything?
ordered my new swinger
- Thread starter gravy
- Start date
Can someone measure from the shock mount to a point in on the front (like the swingarm mount location) and a point on the rear (where the carrier goes) on the stock vs. +4 swingarm?
I would have thought that "Virtually indestructable, 5 year warranty satisfaction guaranteed, Race proven for over 20 years!" would have meant that it was already heavy duty.....
A-hole lying marketers. Where is their fine print?

they say 1/4" steel plate, probably for shock mount and carrier mount. The rest is 11 gauge which is 0.1196" thick.....
I wonder how thick the stocker is?
The reason i"m asking for measurements is I want to see if you can make one by cutting either before or after the shock mount and just sleeving the thing, plus reinforcing it.

I sent the swingarm shop the same thing I sent 2manysprees. So we will see what they say next. It appears there are 2 different types. The one in the auction they referred me to, seems like maybe it is better. They go on into the materials more. Maybe it is, maybe it isn't. I'll keep you guys posted.
dude my dad looks hilarious on his all stock blaster. he's like 6'1 and around 250lbs. he's all big and porkey lol. his buddah belly lmao. looks like he's smuggling a watermelon under his shirt.
as far as wider goes, my durablue axle is +2" on both sides. and flipped front rims. looks pretty good imo.
on the +4 swingers the shock mount is the same distance as the stock swinger, its made for stock rear shocks
that's what im working on extending my swing arm +4 i am looking to order the steel rectangular tubing from speedy metals.com and you can order it buy the inch and its cheap, if i get a chance i will take pics of my progress when i get a chance i have it cut into two just need to MIG weld it up ad some cross pieces and what not
I got a reply from the swingarm shop. They do offer a unit for MX racing. I am waiting on him to give me a price.

Thanx man. So with the +4 swinger, the bike would sit a tiny bit higher off the ground. I guess not all that much though, since the singarm is not all that far from horizontal.
I'm thinking about maybe just lengthening it myself then....hehe!
ok after procrastinating long enough. here it is. i just put it on today. i'm so excited.

man that looks good! How does it ride? How long was the install process? I should get to put mine on this weekend if my chain and brake cable come in.
yea im 6'5" 280 i look funny on a blaster. my ass it right on the edge of the seat.. the only quad i dont look funny on is a sportsman 500
it didnt take all that long to install. i think it took us like 3-4 hours maybe? if that. and the reason it took us so long is cause we had to run to the store to pick up grease, and new cotterpins.
we also had to take the swinger off my parts blasty cause i didnt have those little end caps on my old arm.
havnt taken it out for a ride yet. waiting on my rear hydros to come in the mail. also havnt put the chain on yet. i can't wait.
