Hey fella's,

I finally got my Burgard swingarm. This thing is made out of 4130 Chromoly steel, and is pretty heavy. Should I run this thing? I mean will it make my bike *** heavy real bad? One things for sure there is no way in hell I'm breaking it. Less weight is better I always say. If this was a quadzilla I wouldn't sweat it. I'm honestly thinking of selling it and going with a stocker?

Thoughts, opinions??

BTW, The powdercoat that I paid extra for, is probably the worst job I have ever seen. I could have did better with the Harbor Frieght system and my freakin kitchen oven.

 

is it heavier than stock? is it longer? if the powedercoating is that bad i say you return it and buy a lonestar or something better

 

4130 swingarms are way heavier,but are WAY WAY stronger. Thats the trade off,personaly it wouldnt bother me.

 

if it was an 87+ id leave it but since its the one without powervalve and smaller piston idk, i wouldnt know but chromoly is way stronger. do you race? if not why buy a swingarm?

 

I bought the swing arm and +2 a arms. I bought a new swingarm, because mine had some cracks and it already had a bunch of hack job patch work welding. And I have also seen alot of these swingarms cracked. So I upgraded to a better one. No I don't race professionally, just a weekend rider, trail and the occasional trip to the track. You're right the 86 does not have a PV but it does have the bigger bore 70mm. Most of the PV's on the 87 and up bikes are junk anyway. I'll run this thing. Thanks for all the insight
