Have you had one in your hands, or even seen one on a bike? It's one stout piece of work. It looks very similar to the roll cage in my 9 second Mustang, actually better. If you bend or break one of these you are doing something insane! It would probably break the bolt off that holds it to the frame before that would happen.

Tucker racing has very good cust. service. I called on Monday, and had by Friday powdercoated and all. He really takes care of you. The price is right too! You will be very happy with it. I get lots of complements on mine.

After talking with Jeremy at length about his swing arms I'm confident it's gonna work quite well. I'm pretty excited to get it installed and tested.

Good pics of one. Mine looks just like it. Same powdercoat color even.

I think the Swing arm is $249.95
Twin row carrier is $199.95 installed....you may be able to use your Lonestar setup on it.
Pivot works front pivot bearing kit $49.95 installed
Powdercoating is $50, or Chrome $175

I had mine with all the options with powder coating to my door UPS 2nd day air($50) for $600.

Eyeball Racing is reasonably priced and is very durable. I pound the trails like a madman, but my swing arm is like new. Two thumbs up and both big toes for Eyeball Racing. I have the +2 and it is much lighter than stock.

RaptorJay:

When's your next Sand Mt. trip? Pismo trip?

I would like to see that swing-arm.

I am working on a mild 686 kit for my Wife's Raptor and I think a +2 would be a minimum and a +4 may be a bit too much.

What mods / RW HP do you have that you needed the +4?

What gear are you hitting going up comp hill at Sand Mt.? What gearing do you have?

Thanks!

So far my Tucker +4 has performed perfectly - no signs of problems. I've got about 500 miles of hard desert abuse (including a race which had about 80 miles of non-stop sand whoops) on it. I really like the Tucker product.

So far - so good !

The Tucker +4 is the bomb. I trail ride and have no trouble getting the front end up for obstacles on my stock bore / stock head engine. When I purchased mine about a month back, Jeremy told me they have yet too have a failure from their Raptor arms. Excellent product.....excellent high speed stability, still get plenty of traction as well. A stock Raptor should have came with 2 more inches out back.
