possum Posted December 7, 2015 Report Share Posted December 7, 2015 Pm me if you really want to build a swinger and subframe. I have all measurements and tube sizes to use. There is a ton of savings doing it yourself. And if you are like me, I like one off parts that the average joe just cant go and buy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slag_350300 Posted December 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2015 (edited) Pm me if you really want to build a swinger and subframe. I have all measurements and tube sizes to use. There is a ton of savings doing it yourself. And if you are like me, I like one off parts that the average joe just cant go and buy. I know the cost of materials and my time isn't much. Taking advantage of my trade. That being said aluminim subframes. The yfz use them and the LTR bikes right ? Or is that just the upper portion of the frame ? I would think the first time you rolled the wheeler a couple times it would destroy an aluminum subframe of it wasn't gussetted right Oh and I also sent you a message my dude Edited December 7, 2015 by slag_350300 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickedcarbine Posted December 7, 2015 Report Share Posted December 7, 2015 Remember the vast difference between hydro formed aluminum sections vs aluminum tube. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slag_350300 Posted December 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2015 Yea copy that I was thinking of using a box tubing like how my 2006 yz250 had. Still up in the air on what to use, I have all the aluminum here if I choose chromoly I will have to order some. Thinking I will be patient and order chromoly. I don't want to have to make another one the first time I roll with an aluminum subframe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
registered user Posted December 8, 2015 Report Share Posted December 8, 2015 figured this what hes trying to make http://bansheehq.com/forums/index.php?/topic/121204-new-arched-ladder-design-swingarms/page-1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slag_350300 Posted December 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2015 Negative I'm making a twin spar tubular swinger with a decent amount of gussets in the corners of the bearing tube and shock crossbar, as well as skid plate mounts. A ladder style swing arm would be a heck of a first time project for sure and I'm not even sure a plus 4" ladder would look right. Too crunched up and short I would think. I'll be posting pics when I start the progress Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Call jds I'm sure he can hook something up he's gott have that shit laying around Yeah they have some nice parts listed I was trying to decide which axle housing to get, a lot of the strong "off-road" labeled swingers I saw on eBay have the full wrapped axle housing. I like the look of the skeletonized housing with the two on each side for the cinch bolts to get welded to. Those should be strong enough for abusive riding right? As long as I gusset each corner on pivot tube and all four sides of the shock mount tube I should be pretty stout Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slag_350300 Posted December 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2015 Roll design $1400 I only dream of owning roll design products. They sure are proud of their products. The long travel kit they make looks good. I just can't justify spending that kind of coin on something I just beat up out in the woods. Someday I will come sound and buy it. But what kind of metals are they using for their stuff to make them that expensive? Some sort of space magic alloy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
