G2 build..need swingarm advice
Need everyone advice for the G9 and G2 owners. I am right in the middle of my build and need to lower and push back my swingarm to center my 25's in the rear fender wells.
Details: 87 Yamaha G2, Jakes long travel, Kenda executioneer 25x10x12 tires. I have read on the site that many people are using 4" down and 2" back as the dimensions, but I am trying to figure out the best way to do it. Do you think a terra flex shackle (used as a double jointed leaf spring hanger) would work or would it articulate too much? Do you believe a bolt on bracket would need to be rigid or could it articulate? Or would you just weld a new bracket on the 2" tube frame? Pics anyone? of what you have done to lower your swingarm? Thanks...pic of my cart so far... |

The G2/9 does not articulate, but you could convert it. I kind of like it this way it is more stable on the trails, if I do mine I will just move it down like that.

That setup worked OK but my newer setup is much stronger. Check it out here> http://www.buggiesgonewild.com/desig...me-repair.html
