murder_banshee Posted February 3, 2023 Report Share Posted February 3, 2023 Rather than dropping $600-1000 on a new chromoly swingarm, I would like to see if anyone makes kits to convert the stock swingarm chain adjustment to the round house Honda style adjustment? Is there a kit anyone recommends? And how did it work out? Planning on staying stock length, just would prefer to upgrade the chain adjustment to round house style.

Milfslayer21 Posted February 3, 2023 Report Share Posted February 3, 2023 You can buy just the round house carrier piece from several swingarm builders. Then just cut the end off the stock arm and weld it on. Easy peasy. Or buy a $275 Tyson arm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmace Posted February 5, 2023 Report Share Posted February 5, 2023 JJ&A sell the housing for $35 I think, stellar can also cut you out something custom and send you one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This may be a stupid question, but I noticed on the JJ&A website that there are no tabs for the pinch bolts on their housing…how are you supposed to tighten/secure the carrier? Do you have to fabricate and weld tabs on yourself? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gusto Posted February 6, 2023 Report Share Posted February 6, 2023 The adjustment is not on the housing, its on the bearing carrier. Super simple to adjust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not referring to chain adjustment, I was meaning how do you actually secure the carrier if there are no pinch bolt tabs on the housing. Looks like my question was answered below though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

murder_banshee Posted February 6, 2023 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2023 How do these stock swingarm conversions compare/hold up compared to a new chromoly arm? Any input on this? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have to fabricate and weld tabs on yourself? Get you some 5/8” OD, .120 wall tubing. 3/8” hardware works perfect. Cut it to about 1.75”-2” and center it up on the gap in the carrier tube, weld both sides and then cut the middle out when you are done.

ThanksThey can last forever. I did a few back in the day. I’d still recommend just buying a new arm and being done with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
specialblend07 Posted February 6, 2023 Report Share Posted February 6, 2023 By the time you get done doing the work, you would be money ahead just buying one from Tyson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
