ok guys, i figured i would make a new thread now that i have the facts about my swingarm
i have an 87 R and the previous owner for some reason put an 85 swingarm on it. the rear brake was a little wobbly when i got it and the carrier was shot. i bought a new carrier for an 87 and bam it didnt fit (not knowing i had the 85 arm at the time)
now i was looking through a bunch of extra parts the guy gave me with the purchase of the bike, and behold i have an 86/87 swingarm that my carrier fits in. i was about to start transfering everything over when i asked myself why someone would swap out the correct arm for the atc style...maybe this one is defective?
so my options are:
leave it on and get a new carrier
swap it out to the 87 and i think i need a new brake stay plate, or do i?
look into a 450r style
anyway here are some pics tell me what the best route for me to take would be. thanks
