Heck Yeah! a shorter swingarm wouldnt bother me, may be even better, my quad with all the mods still wont wheelie, a shorter swing arm would help me to lighten the front end up under power, yeah I know you all are looking for longer more stable rides Im looking to lighten and get the DS to handle better in the way we ride our group is not a bunch a hill shooters but fast pace dune gliders you know the riding of the ridges and playing in the bowls and rolling over dune to dune.

 

I have purchased several +10's from them which they dont advertise but will make and they both looked Great . the one that I have installed on a bike with a 185hp motor held up without a problem. you can order them in different wall thickness as well if you want something a little lighter or more heavy duty. they are willing to build them any way you need it . I dont think you can buy better at any price and I am about to install one on my own 1300cc turbo DS which will be in the 300hp range. they dont have a web site that I know of but there number is 417-967-1091

 

Erbeds650, I am one of the big guys. I have put alot of hard miles on my ds with the +6. I dont do much jumping with it but, where I ride sometimes is whooped real bad. I havent had any problems with cracking or stress marks. That to me is a very good sign of quality, when a +320 lbs guy cant break something.

 

OK Im sold!!!!

 

I agree with you! They are the best.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

I started this post last summer so I have some time on the swingarm now. I have litterally pounded this chit out of it with zero problems with exception of this. When you install the carrier be sure to put some anti-seize on the outside of the carrier to keep it from rusting in. Chromoloy will rust the carrier into place and make it very difficult to adjust the chain after it has gotten wet. Also if Chris hasnt changed this replace the carrier tightening bolts with stainless. The ones it came with rusted up also. Be sure to locktite the chain guard bolt, it will vibrate loose. ( ive replaced it a couple of times now. Other than that (which is just common sense, which I lack at times, ie "scatterbrain" [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]. Its an awsome swingarm. They will be building me another one very soon.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
