#500739 tykesplace (User) Gold Boarder Posts: 963 Swingarm pivot tube width?? 1 Year ago   Maybe someone already knows this or can take a measurement off their bike for me. I have an '05. Last year I bought a chrome swingarm on eBay. The seller said it was from a 1700, but when I swap it out the pivot shaft insert is too long. Turns out the swingarm's pivot tube is 1/4" narrower than the original. That means it will have 1/4" play in the frame. Not good. Also the end caps won't fit tight since the shaft is too long. I'm wondering if a 1600 swingarm is narrower than the 1700. I might be able to have the shaft insert machined to fit so the end caps fit tight. Then use two 1/8" spacers to center. Everything else measures right. Axle space, belt guard, caliper mounts. Any ideas???   Logged     Patriot Guard Riders Patriot Guard of Montana   The administrator has disabled public write access. #500820 tykesplace (User) Gold Boarder Posts: 963 Re:Swingarm pivot tube width?? 1 Year ago   bump   Logged     Patriot Guard Riders Patriot Guard of Montana   The administrator has disabled public write access. #500833 smokescreens (User) lifes better riding twins Platinum Boarder Posts: 10378 Re:Swingarm pivot tube width?? 1 Year ago   havent a clue but i dont see why they would be any different they use the same tire size and all bump. hope you get a answer   Logged     feel free to look thru my albums email me at jasonwoody1982@yahoo.com my 2005 midnight 1700 ORIGINAL ROAD SLAMMER   The administrator has disabled public write access. #500839 blue_star (User) Better to burn out than fade away!

I got it used off eBay and the seller said it came off of a 1700. I don't know the year. I figured there were two part numbers but I don't know what the difference is between the two parts.   Logged     Patriot Guard Riders Patriot Guard of Montana   The administrator has disabled public write access. #500847 signal20k9 (User) Chad Gold Boarder Posts: 781 Re:Swingarm pivot tube width?? 1 Year ago   Which part exactly and at which points are you needing measured? I have a complete 04 1700 swingarm in the shed I'm using for a project. If you can show me a picture I can take the measurement for you.   Logged     I can handle going fast.

Is the center pivot tube. The one that swingarm pivots on in the frame. There's a shaft insert that goes through it and caps on the outside. I need the length of the swingarm tube and the shaft insert. In this image it's item #4. What's confusing is that the two shafts (my original and the one that came with chrome arm) are the same length. But the tube on the chrome arm is shorter. signal20k9 wrote: Which part exactly and at which points are you needing measured? I have a complete 04 1700 swingarm in the shed I'm using for a project.

Think I had a newer swingarm and had to use the old end caps. Might be wrong as it has been some time ago.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access.
