I am disassembling an '86 and found the dreaded (but I was expectin it!) cracked swingarm, cracked at the front mounting holes on the left side. It'll be easy to patch up, but I'd rather fix it for good.
Who makes the best aftermarket swingarm? I'm not wanting to spend megabucks, just want a good stock replacement. A stock one (not cracked) is well over $100-money I could be putting toward a better-built swingarm.
Thanks

I've been asked this before and if I remember correctly, no one makes an aftermarket swingarm for the '85 and '86. I'm not 100% on this though. I'd have to check my catalogs again.

 

I think someone makes an aftermarket swingarm for the 85-86. But if not you should be able to put an after market swing for an 87 and up on the 85-86 frame, because i know you can put the stock swingarm from an 87 and up on the 85-86 frame, you just need to change the axle carrage.

 

i had the same $hit happen to my quadracer to. i just took it to get aluminum welded. its worked so far. why does it do it just on the left side? i think its made cheap!

 

Several companies make after market swing arms for the 85-86. Lone Star Racing is one of them. They are avalible frome James Lucky Part number LS-300 $759.00 including bearing carrier
