kenr74 Posted April 27, 2006 Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 (edited) Just a heads up for people looking for a cheap swing arm. I bought a cheap one on ebay so I could try out a different size than I already had. It was supposed to be "in stock" but didn't show up for almost three weeks. The first problem is that it looks like it was welded by a drunk monkey. I went to mount the thing and it is so crooked that it won't even fit on the bike. I've been trying to get ahold of the guy for three weeks now and he won't return my calls or emails. Finally had to file with Paypal and hope I get some $$ back. Anyway, the guy has changed names on there now but don't buy anything from them. I see somebody already left them negative feedback about an arm so I'm guessing there are a bunch of bad ones out there.

I have one of his arms on my bike right now and have beat the crap out of it with no problems. I don't need a $700 arm for my kind of riding. I do need an arm that is straight and fits though. I'll get my $ back one way or another but just wanted to give everybody a heads up about the new guy on there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trex banshee Posted April 28, 2006 Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 I guess I could chime in and give Andy another compliment on his workmanship. I had the same problem as Travis but it really wasn't no big deal and as the welds go they do hold cause with my big ass beaten the shit out of it it bent instead of breaking but only because i was doing "things I shouldn't be doing" like NYUK stated some of his friends did.
