Swingarm

[redgambler]

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?

I don't think its possible to get a 200 series tire centered up on the bike using the stock arm and drive shaft setup. If you have enough money you can buy a billet arm that has an offset driveshaft setup and center up a WIDE tire.

Sean Morley modifies the stock arm and can offset it to center the wheel better. Largest tire I've seen with this setup is a 180 though. I've got one of those arms but no wheel yet.

200/50 can be used (on an 18" rim).

my bike has a 200 mm tire 17'' wheel, you will need a custom swing arm.

Neil's running a 17" 200 on his bike. He's got the same COO double notched, braced swingarm that I'm running. It keeps the stock offset. I couldn't be happier with it :clapping: I just need to make a decision on what rims to get under the bike now.

You can get some re-alignment of the swinging arm in the frame by replacing the LH fixed SA pivot with an adjustable RH one (1J7-22141-00-00 - Pivot & 1J7-22143-00-00 - Locknut)

Looks like ill keep the offset. Yall really know this bike inside and out, thanks for the replies. Gotta get my carbs right before I get on this swingarm. I'll will be packing 200 mm before I'm through.

How far can you go to the left with 2 adjustables, safely ?
Thanks.

It may not be a factor but as you push the swing to the left the shaft gets closer to the notch wall. Bare that in mind.
