swingarm roundup
« on: August 25, 2022, 12:03:34 PM »
 I laid out a bunch of swingarms. stock 73? K, stock 76A is +1", the next box tube is +2", welded stocker is +3", and the clubfoot is +5". My turbo bike frame has a lovely +1" welded stocker done by a pro. I plan to use it on my Hot Rod bike and one of these on the turbo frame.
 It was suggested I could remove the clubfoot and machine the body to accept stock swingarm parts so it can move. I think it was designed for struts.

 Sorry, I had the wrong pic on the first try.

 It appears the 750A axle is a half inch longer and had wider spacers. I can put a 16x5" M&H slick all the way forward in the A swingarm and it's a drum brake.

Don,
Measure your F1…
Remembering the F1 swingarm is an inch longer than a 75k…
If the k had the factory one. It’s chain guard wasn’t because it had lowering block on the shocks..😜

 I've considered using the rear disc brake on my custom build on a 16x3 Henry Abe rim with a longer swingarm. Would require welding the disc brake strut mount on but that's no biggie. I have a complete F0 and an F2 rear end to choose parts from.

 I went with the shorter of the box tube swingarms. It looks to be +3" on the rear setting. The +1" welded stocker that was on it is getting new grease zerks, kibblewhite bronze bushings and installed on the Hot Rod bike.
