BAMF87 Posted January 5, 2014 Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 What size it the front swingarm pivot tube and what wall size? Thinking about building my own swinger Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starwriter Posted January 5, 2014 Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 Do you have a lathe to bore out the tube for the roller bearings? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAMF87 Posted January 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 Wasn't aware I needed to. Maybe be easier to just buy one from jj&a. Just thought I could saw some money. But ok access to lathe Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locogato11283 Posted January 6, 2014 Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 You're going to be money ahead to buy the parts from JJ&A. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
possum Posted January 6, 2014 Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 there is DOM tube thats fits the bearings and caps perfectly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAMF87 Posted January 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 I'll prolly get the carrier housing and pivot tube from jj&a and use 1-1/4 dom .120 wall for the swingarm. Should hold up after I gusset it. Wish I had a tig. I'll cut my own shock tabs with my plasma cutter.

Coupelx Posted January 8, 2014 Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 120 is way thick. I used .95 dom and think it was overkill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BAMF87 Posted January 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 You guys think 1" .95 wall will be strong enough? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coupelx Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 Depends on how you do it. Mine is an arched ladder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
