Default Re: Dropped my swing arm

Maxim, if you only have those drop brackets bolted at the top, I have to suggest that you brace them in another place down toward the bottom. You could weld a tab at the bottom at an angle coming up too the big bolt going thru where the swing arm used too bolt on.

You don't realize how much torque there is on the swing arm brackets until you do like I did. I thought I did a good weld job with plenty of brace in the necessary areas. Until of course I took the cart out on the trails over a weekend camping trip and broke one side loose causing my clutch to hit the frame. (I have a much larger clutch than usual as well.)

I've since done better bracing and hopefully that will hold.

I like the idea off a bolt on kit though.
