What will my swingarm come with?
Nearly all our swingarms come complete with bearings, bushes, wheel axle etc....ready to bolt straight to the bike.
If you're ordering a swingarm to take a different wheel than standard then the final chain-alignment is left down to the customer i.e spacing the wheel accordingly.
How long will my swingarm take? (Updated Feb 2009)
We are quoting between 12 weeks and up to 20 weeks for one-offs at the moment, good things come to those who wait!
If you're looking to buy a swingarm we recommend you order it as soon as possible as the summer always creeps up faster than you think, this isn't a ploy to get orders, feel free to pay a £100 deposit - payment in full or a just a deposit makes absolutely no difference to us!
Our production system is nearly always based on order date but this can be affected by various things.
If you're ordering a one-off 'arm to take a different wheel etc. this can increase the lead time, if you're ordering one of our less popular swingarms this can increase the lead time.
Until the swingarm is welded and in our hands, no, we cannot provide a specific delivery date.
Phoning to check on the progress of your 'arm is welcome but it's appreciated if you can keep this down to a minimum.
Can I fit paddock-stand bobbins?
All our swingarms come with 8mm x 1.25mm Pitch threaded holes ready to take paddock-stand bobbins.
What swingarm finishes are available?
An 'unfinished' swingarm is just the bare aluminium finish, basically ready for you to polish yourself, paint or powdercoat. We also offer a full mirror-polish or a black powdercoat.
Can you modify standard swingarms? (Updated Feb 2009)
Yes, we can modify your standard swingarm. We can fit bottom braces or our drag-style wheel adjusters, we cannot put our eccentric adjusters onto an existing swingarm.
Adding a bottom brace to a std. swingarm - £140.00 all in! (UK Delivery)
Adding 4.5" or 6" drag adjusters - £190.00 + VAT
Will swingarm be preloaded with grease for bearings?
No, but bearings will have a light lubrication oil for protection but must be greased prior to use, most models have a grease nipple fitted for this purpose.
