custom swingarms by jerry swingers

[trx750gsxr]

What do you guys think of an arched swingarm made of billet 6061-t6. This is what I came up with on master cam.......any opinoins????

[hawaiiysr]

beef it up 7076 and some more bracing i would love to have one that could stand up to MX.

[trx750gsxr]

im not sure the 7076 is necessary...the arms will be .750 thick. but only weighing barely over 5lbs an arm and this perticular one im doing for me is a +3.......

[trx750gsxr]

but definetly will have gussets in the corners

[250x_kyle]

after getting familiar with solid works i just import solid works drawings to master cam lifes much easier. should work for dune use. idk if id be willing to try it for mx.

[trx750gsxr]

I will most certainly put it to the test!!!!

[hawaiiysr]

i have always admired arched arms.

these are not CNC and i know that useing it for MX is asking alot. sure would ne trick tho.

[trx750gsxr]

here is the arms i cut out on the mill....

[trx750gsxr]

Also looking for other inquires on parts to machine out....have access to cnc mills and plenty of machinery..... Just looking for ideas on what i can machine out. Already got the brake stay and billet brakeline clamps in the works. Just trowing it out there....

[quadfmx]

please make no link, cr500 or crf450 links and not just std

[trx750gsxr]

Could you elaborate a little bit? Your talking about the dog bone correct? Like an adjustable one?

[CanuckR]

You've already started working on brake stay plates. What about making a brake stay plate with the rotor fin similar to the blingstar ones. But not charge 2x what its worth like blingstar does? I really want one but blingstar doesn't make one for the R nor would I pay what they want for one.

I'd like a couple billet ressie clamps for aftermarket shocks. For a fair price of course. :D

[trx750gsxr]

Would need what diameter rezzies you have and what type of shocks.....

[973trx250r87]

I would be extremely interested in a fin style brake stay

[trx750gsxr]

hey guys feel free to pm me with needs or ideas.....still looking for help on these "shark fins" a link to a pic would do the trick....

and i will be taking pic of the swingarm coponets and maybe start assembling it monday night

Not too steal this thread but QUADFMX your pm box is full

[CanuckR]

Here is a picture of the blingstar rotor guard (shark fin)
You can find them on their website but the pictures suck.
Maybe even do the sprocket rings too?

[hontrx265r]

I make a nice sprocket guard for 30.00 bucks if you want one. I don't do the two piece thin one like blingstar, I do a 3/8 single sided, works great. I also have a rotor guard in cad, but have not started to cut them. Sorry not trying to steal work or anything. I just make them as a favor to racing friends and people around.

[hontrx265r]

Also I did pm you about the idea I have for an adj. cr500 link. I just don't have access to a machine to make it but I could draw it in cad for you if you wanted to work something out, You could import my solidworks files like they were talking about above. Don't know if thats a big "seller" really but I like adjustability just to mess around like most 250r guys do, and alot of guys run cr links.

[trx750gsxr]

Here is a update on the swinger.......just gotta fab up the two pinch bolt blocks on the carrier.......other products are in research.............more too come

[trx750gsxr]

i could make thoes......let me get some things together and wrap up this swingarm....

[k10seibel]

Very nice clean work there! Looks awesome!

[trx750gsxr]

Thanks man! Can't wait to get the powder on it and get it mounted.

[trx750gsxr]

I dont see it being a problem to make these. I do see it being a problem cutting blingstars price in half.......its $30.00 just in material for a block that size.......and they charge $109 for the guard......be tough to beat. Certinatly cant do it the way im doing this now. Im doing al this stuff at my work. A buddy of mine over at poorboy performance are trying to get the funds together so we can set up a shop. (just got the building) If we can get set up to do production runs then i dont see this being an issue. So for as "IDEAS" keep 'em coming!!!!

[jcs003]

what will one of these swingers cost?

front hubs are an idea. they cost big money to get aftermarket.

[trx750gsxr]

I'm thinking around $300 not coated. Cheaper they any other +3 arm

[trx750gsxr]

Want to get this one done and prove it out first.

[wilkin250r]

Hmm. I'm a little worried about the strength of the shock mounting tabs, I don't think that setup would hold up to the abuse of MX. Not a big deal because it's not designed for MX, but you would have to be really clear about that to potential customers.

[trx750gsxr]

That's why I said I'm gonna prove this one out. Make sure it holds up.....

whats it weight?

will you make them in stock length?

[trx750gsxr]

+3 is 8lbs. Soon as I prove this one I will see what I can do. Stock all the way to a +9 would be my guess. Hopefully she works out

[trx750gsxr]

Oh and for the record a stock swing arm weighs 14.5

[trx750gsxr]

scale pic...........fitting will be in the morning. post up some pics tomorrow......

[trx750gsxr]

Well she bolted up good and clearence for the motor is good as well. Need to tear the rest of the motor down order my +4 crank and get the port work done then more powder.....all in time for silver lake by memorial weekend......

[k10seibel]

Look'n good. Now if anyone asks where you got that cool swinger, you can just say you made it yourself.
Satisfaction.........
Nice work!

[trx750gsxr]

thinking about pulling the arm back off and welding a peice of stock in between the two arms right behind the pivot bot or(motor mount)

[trx750gsxr]

[gandgracing]

Nice work!! I really like it. That cross brace across the front might be a good idea in giving it more strength in the front.
