06specialedition Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 I've heard people say swingarms from the "swingarm shop" are pretty decent. Me personally, I wouldn't run anything but a Stellar swingarm. And round house carrier is the only way to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildcardracing Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 Tried one a few years back and it broke...I won't buy an other from them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camatv Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 you get what you pay for have you priced a std straight tube arm from stellar?? they are really NOT that bad of a price the lil bit extra you spend for a round carrier arm is worth every fuggin penny. if you cannot afford a decent arm JUST wait and save your pennies or go mow some lawns or paint a dog house for a few extra bucks. you will be happy you did!!

I run a Stellar+4 with a stock rear shock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WINDYCITYJOHN400 Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 Order a basic arm from Stellar Mchine and Performance. That "Swingarm Shop" arm has a chronic issue of breaking, Not the way you would think either....the pipe that the shock mounts to ends up twisting like a twist throttle towards the front and it is then worthless. Mine did it 2 years ago, and a buddies bike (who bought his arm the same month as I did) found his was cracked in the same way just last month. Go with a full chromoly unit that has the shock pipe pass ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE ARM and be welded on both sides. Check with Tim at Stellar. He does fantastic work, and his pricing is great. I'd shy away from the swingarm shop stuff...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
