Hey is there any aftermarket swingarms that will take the stock carrier n stuff. Im looking for +2,+4'' range. How far can u extend the factor brake lines before there too short? My price is a max of $400.
The name and or the website would be cool. Also im finally going to put on 450 shocks!!!!

Max of $400 on the swinger only, or all together. If you don't want to spend more than that you are probably going to be looking at used swingers.

i have a +4 and the stock brake line is fine. one of the advantages of a swinger is getting rid of the stock carrier and going with a "honda style" twinrow.

the fourhoundred was for the swingarm. So none of them use the stock carrier?

THE MAIN ADVANTAGE of the aftermarket swingarm is the concentric chain "honda style" carrier IMO. You really can't understand how badly the stock 660's carrier sucks until you've owned a honda carrier. I've gone online shopping and had aftermarket +0 swingarms and carriers in my "shopping cart" more times than I can count, that carrier is a holy thing that is to be praised and spoken of in reverence.

Indeed, the sliding type carrier is a POS, honda style is the only way to go. Why do you thing the 700 comes that way now? It's impossible to get the carrier out of whack and a whole crapload easier to adjust the chain.

Yeah just like they said.....the roundhouse carrier is the way to go....the only thing that will work with the stock carrier is a swingarm extension off ebay and i wouldn't trust it if i rode hard....you'll thank yourself for spending the extra dough to get the roundhouse swinger....and better, stronger bearings also :thumbsup:

Are all aftermarket swingers using the "Honda" style carrier? Does it require any special axle or can I throw a durablue through it? What about hubs and such? Do those need to be replaced to match the new carrier?

Basically, is it a new swinger or a new rear end?

all aftermarket swingers use the "honda style" carrier and you can use a stock style axle.
ill try and get a pic of mine, its a +4 with the stock axle.

So far, I'm very happy with my ASR swinger, just don't be in a hurry as it took twice as long to deliver as advertised (a month vs. 2 weeks). Plus the price was very reasonable for the quality of product you are getting.

Hey i understand that the swingarm is aluminium but is that center piece that is darker still aluminium or is it titanium or something? Ide really like to know before i cut it? Should i go with +2 or +2.5. Im a drag racer more and more every day, and i dont like jumping.

How long or how much can i go before i need to revalve or get a new shock for the rear, cause im trying the cheapest way. So its all aluminium, possibly could u tell me what grade of aluminium?
 
#26 ·
i did a +4 on mine and the stock shock cant hold it, if you do that give tcs a call and have them respring and revalve the rear shock. i would never add on to a stock swingarm but thats just me.
get a +4 you will love it. i ride alot of trails with mine and no problems as long as you dont forget about the extra length on the tight trails.
