2004LEBanshee Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 What is the point of the arched swinger? Are they lighter? When comparing them to a straight round tube swinger they look like they have to be heavier. Do they hook up better? Or are they just stronger? They are cooler looking.

Finch Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 i think there more for looks then anything but i could be wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boston Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 Strength I'd imagine. I don't think you'd want to hill shoot one of them straight round tube ones because I doubt they are strong enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WINDYCITYJOHN400 Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 It's looks. A straight tube swingarm is fine as long as it has some gussets. The ones that just have the round tube butted to the round carrier, but have no strengthening gussets are more towards drag. They can handle some abuse, but the gusseted ones can handle more.

m671054 Posted January 30, 2013 Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 The arched swinger came out to fix the bending problem everyone had with the aero tube style arms. They would bend like a bannana. With the arch most people cant tell when it starts to bend=less customer complaints. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

locogato11283 Posted January 31, 2013 Report Share Posted January 31, 2013 I have run them all. I probably put them through more abuse than anyone here also. The ONLY swingarm I have not bent is an arched ladder swingarm. I've bent aero tube, rectangular tube and round tube. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

locogato11283 Posted January 31, 2013 Report Share Posted January 31, 2013 ya and you got a beefy more then average arched swinger Motherfucking right I did. 14 pounds if I remember correctly. I value my life, limbs and bike. Even if I was only drag racing, I still wouldn't run skimpy ass parts like some guys do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
