Marc clayton Posted January 23, 2021 Posted January 23, 2021 Anyone know If any other swinger is a direct swap? the swinger I’ve is trash Ive got an E reg 750 not sure what model that is I’m sure someone could tell me that as well Cheers Quote
clivegto Posted January 24, 2021 Posted January 24, 2021 I fitted a slingshot JMC swinging arm to my 750 slabby using the special part in the picture I had made. You also need top hat spacers wheel spacors & sort the chain run out, or I did anyway. But the special part allows you to fit dog bones instead of them been part of the swinging arm like the slabby arms are. 1 Quote
Dezza Posted January 24, 2021 Posted January 24, 2021 Clive, is it just a steel insert with a hole drilled through the middle with the same external dimensions as the OEM part so it still uses the stock caged needle roller bearing? Quote

Basically yes, I had a local company make it who sent it off to get hardened which cost £80 a batch or just 1 item. They waited until they had a load of stuff to send so they only charged me £30 for the job. You could remove the bearing fill the hole then fit a smaller roller bearing in the centre for the bolt to run through. 1 Quote

Remove the stock needle roller and replace it with a new caged ball race bearing with the same o/d but with an i/d the same size as the bolt hole. Quote

Just fill it with billet aluminium weld it in then fit small roller bearing in the centre. 1 Quote

Marc clayton Posted January 25, 2021 Author Posted January 25, 2021 Think I’m gunna sell the billets they ain’t my thing Quote

But it amuses me that it's your swing and not mine. But seriously, do something with what you got. Quote

The difference is staggering cosmetically, and came with a near 50% weight loss. So maybe don't get rid so quickly..... Quote

I’d possibly keep them if they were the right width, but the are far too wide for my liking and the spacers that someone had put in the front wheel are made of shite, so think I’ll be flogging them, not sure on worth, I’d rather do a swap for a std slingy rwu front spindle and spacers and a slabbie rear swing arm and spacers And slabbie engine mounts I’m also missing Quote
