Race GNCC wat swingarm?

[quadgod440ex]

Ok its time for a new swing arm , my stock one is pretty beat up. Now do alot of the GNCC guys run stock length or plus 1 ? or what . I havnt really had a chance to ask anyone and im lookin for a quick answer so i figured id give here a shot. Thanks

Best bet is to buy another stock swingarm from Ebay. If it is an 04-05 then +1 might be a benefit. Newer models I think the stock length works best.

Aftermarket Swing Arms are quite expensive when you factor in the carrier and what not.

Well i got an 05 swingarm , Your sayin if i bought an aftermarket swingarm i need to get a different carrier? What about a brake line if its a plus 1?

[JCoop]

Some of the aftermarket swingarms recommend there carrier but you should be able to run your stock carrier I believe. I think if you went with a +1 swing arm then your brake line will stretch. I had a LSR Swingarm on my z400 and it was a +1.25 and the stock length brake line stretch with no problems.

if you bike is a 05, get a 06 swinger, There longer, and will work perfect.

Didnt they change the design of the rear linkage as well? Do you think he would need the 06+ linkage as well since the swingarm is longer?

Getting a 06 swingarm is an option. You don't have to get a new carrier with the swingarm.

Good question ?

i just bought a stock swing arm brand new for 100 with shipping and im getting it powder coated its deffinetly the way to go

I WOULD STAY WITH STOCK 05 IF ITS MORE FEESIBLE. I ALSO WOULDN'T RECOMMEND GOING LONGER BECAUSE YOUR ADDING LENGTH TO YOUR QUAD AND TO THE PIVOT DISTANCE. WHICH CAN BE A BIT OF A DIIFFERENCE WHEN YOU GET IN THE REALLY TIGHT STUFF. JMO

drew - I PM'd ya about gettin a swinger.

[racernorris]

if you put the 06 swing arm on, the 05 linkage and shock will not work, the bolt hole for the linkage on the 06 swinger is father back, so u would have to buy complete set up. the 04-05 trx450 has a shorter wheel base than the 06-08 trx450. the 04-05 tend to push in the front, because they are shorter, (less weight on the front end) now if you weight only 130-140 lbs, you would need to stay with a stock length swinger. the 04-05 weight ratio from front to rear is something like 42 % front and 58% rear, by putting a 1 1/8 longer swing arm u center the weight better.

Actually the 04-05 450 steers much better the 06 and newer.

As for a swing arm updating the rear end to the 06 swing arm, linkage and shock if a good way to go

[racernorris]

most guys replace the 06-08 spindles and hubs, when installing long travel front ends. i agree the 04-05 front components work better.

but your issue is rear shock, question is: do you want to buy shock, swing arm, and linkage, or just a swing arm. and remember if you put a longer swing arm you will need your shock re valved and spring replaced.
