oblivionor Posted March 4, 2012 Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 Only thing my local shops are trying to do is get me to buy the most expensive one so they can make more money off of me. I figured id ask for peoples opinions and preferences. So my Banshee has a +8 swing arm that has cracked on the welds around where the shock hooks up at. i was pissed thinking the previous owner knew and just pawned it to me before having to fix it. went to my local bike shops. there was a banshee in the show room with the same swing arm(or style at least) but it had been welded on the same spots where mine was cracked. so i think its just a design flaw or breaking over time(its only 2 years old). i was curious what a good swing arm would be that's strong, looks good, and is reasonably not a tank in weight. Looking at keeping a +8 length or maybe going to a +6. Any and all opinions are appreciated. I looked at a lot of topics for suggested swing arms. people were just asking lengths. so i figured id ask about a company that makes them custom that has a good reputation that stands behind there work or a good company that sells them with the same also a good reputation. All input is appreciated. thanks for the help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SandmanPNW Posted March 4, 2012 Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 JL Engineering also makes a good swingarm. I'm unsure about his sponsorship status at the moment. I was going to get one of his but I got a killer deal from a member on here on my arched +8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

locogato11283 Posted March 4, 2012 Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 I run Stellar swingarms on both of my bikes.. His quality is second to none and he supports BansheeHQ. You will not find a better looking arm from a better looking guy. Stay away from your local dealership. Most of them are crooks only out to screw you over and take your money. You can find EVERY part or service you would ever need right here on BansheeHQ from people who actually give a shit about their parts and services.

SandmanPNW Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 why not that the setup that i run and i love it One person I seen at the dunes had nothing but problems with their stuff on a drag chassis. Bad fitment and needed modification by the buyer. That was the 1 and only person I seen with their stuff, so my opinion is based solely off of that.
