swingarm

Just thought I would share some pics of my winter project that I finished already. Got the wheels, 3"over arm and 3" shaft extention from Sean Morley. Brake line too. I made the plate braket with my father in-laws help. 200 rear was not a problem at all! I thought I was going to have to let...

Saw on here you could buy the right hand side pivot bolt and nut to get a small bit of movement to align the swingarm. My question is... How do i install it now? book says to torque the left side to 73 lbs but i fear that will snap the Allen key... Anyone done this or know how to do it? it has...

Anyone know of a decent swingarm stand that fits a gen 1 or an easily modifyable cheap stand? It would really help with cleaning the bike and certain parts of service... Any help is appreciated! Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk 2

I have an idea festering in my brain...but first I need some info....:ummm: Could some one tell me the length and weight of the stock arm on Gen 1 models ? Cheers

:ummm:Hi everyone, I have a new to me 03 V. My first V-Max.:banana: I am resurrecting it after sitting for 8 years. After removing tank and derusting I am putting it back together. The PO had installed a Metzeler ME880. I have installed the rear wheel using the procedure outlined in the owners...

Hey guys, just got the motor back in my VMAX, runs and rides great. I'm not noticing any strange things on the road yet as far as handling, but since I did have the rear swingarm out, how do I reset the "alignment" of the swingarm? What's the proper way to go about this procedure? I'd rather be...

Hello, I'm about to start tearing the rear end of the bike down. Swingarm and rear diff are being replaced and before I start digging into it I wanna make sure there's no specialty tools I need to buy before hand. Any input?

I was wondering if anyone found a chain gaurd for the MAD MAX swing arm that requires only minor altering to make it fit.. I bought mine in FEB has no chain gaurd and its gonna make a mess. I found grease everywhere from previous owner plus the girlfriend will have my jewels hanging if she gets...

So, I'm going to attempt to notch my swingarm on my own this weekend (what's the worse that can happen, right :rofl_200:) My question (actually two questions) is this: 1. How deep do I have to notch the swingarm to fit 200 size tire and clear the drive shaft (obviously). I know I have to...

Need to know if a 190/60/17 fits in the stock swingarm without notching. Is anyone running this size? I'm in need of new tires and would love to go with the 190/60/17. Currently I have a 190/55/17 and I have just enough clearance on both sides to fit a thin envelope. I found a tire...

Gents, I've been looking at images of, and reading about the different vendors and DIY braced swingarms and have a few thoughts and a few questions. I've read very little about the intent behind different designs, other than "stiffer is better". Is it? Or would some limited, remaining...

Just getting going on it, the new wheel & tire combo is 6lbs heavier than my stock wheel and burnt up Shinko but I expected it to be heavier.. everything is going good so far and I'll keep you guys posted about my progress.. Sent from my HTC Thunderbolt using Tapatalk

I did a search and didn't come up with anything definitive. Can you adjust/torque the swing arm pivot bolts/nuts with the rear wheel/tire on the bike? does the rear have to be off the ground? I am getting a weird feeling that seems to be coming from the rear,feels like the rear is skating around...

I talk earlier about my bike pulling left with no hands on the handlebars, and I found out that the rear wheel is alittle ofset. Has anyone that has modified their swingarm to hold a 200mm also center up the wheel?

Hi folks: I have a silver-painted swingarm from a different bike that has areas of rust on it (not functionally unsafe; just surface rust.) I'd like to find out if any of you know anyone (such as Mr. Morley?) who I could send the swingarm to who could remove the rust and re-paint the...

Does anyone know where to buy a otec swingarm for the gen 2 max,thanks in advance.:ummm:

I'm doing research on what kind of max would suit me and my bf. We're kinda into the fighter'd VMAXes. So I've got a few questions: 1. Has anyone tried raising the VMAX's rear higher than stock? How did that work for them? 2. Is getting a raked frame a good idea as well? 3. If you...

When I bought my bike it came with a Fischer Millennium swing arm. For the life of me I can't seem to find where the hell it came from or where to buy one from. My bike came with a lot of expensive mods so I am trying to figure out how much everything was so I can get it properly insured. I...

Hi guys this winter I'm going to extend and notch my swingarm 3" and I was just wondering if any of you ever built a bottle mount into your swingarm? I don't really want to mount it to the front frame or in the rear like I've seen before and by measuring when I extend it there "should" be room...

I dont have an allen socket for my torque wrench. I think the torque is only 4 lbs. I just tightened it until the swingarm had no side to side play then gave it a little snug. Is this ok or do i need to go buy some tools? Or does anyone have another way of doing it? Thanks
