I was able to get the caliper on after shaving a bolt head down to 3/16" thick and finding a slim 13mm wrench.  It looks like there will be plenty of chain adjustment. Still not thrilled with the quality of this swingarm, but I think it's gonna work.

Might look for a button or flat top Allen bolt

The bolt has to go in from the back side which is right next to the swingarm. There is no way to get an Allen wrench in there.  See pics above. Thanks for the suggestions.

Welding a  stud to brake stay an drill the threads out of caliper mount not a option probably a bad option it will make it a pain in the but to take caliper off /on. better idea weld nut to brake stay , drill out threads for caliper mount and bolt to brake stay.

You paid good money for the product that's supposed to fit send it back and have it fixed.

to expand on smith's better suggestion.

open up the caliper hole and tap the brake stay bracket.  better yet, tap it and install a steel insert (helicoil) so you don't need to worry about the threaded aluminum hole shearing off the threads.

That's what I would have like to do but I already spent $180 on pc. I think they actually put the pin in the correct spot, it's just way this thing is made makes it difficult.  The gullwing bend and the tapered tubing.  Koq said they were mostly using 400ex stuff on hybrids back when I bought this one.

Wish I could have found a roll design. On a positive note, it looks like the airbox won't be too big of an issue. The shock is as far forward as it can go which helps the airbox clearance.

I will see how much room is on the back side of the caliper for a nut but I think what I've got will be fine. Thanks again for the suggestions.

Ya he needs to work on this thing.  But his geometry is the real deal.  I had to have my pin relocated for my second one.  fixed the issue you spoke of with the clearance.

maybe kyle answered the question.  cut off the pin that is poorly located and either weld a new pin on or drill and tap and install a pin in an acceptable location.

i was hoping it was just mine since i was his first 86 one he has done.  but this thing runs nearly as smooth as my CR500 link.  That said i twisted my first one in my first race.  He rebuilt it with heavier wall, and i havent bent it, but my powder did stress in some points.  i will beat it hard this year and we will really see

kyle, do you still do MX or do you race XC now?  this might better explain the conditions your machine is accustomed to.

This was on my XC bike that it bent.  No jumping or hard hitting when i twisted it.  IT was built lite for MX, i noticed when i got it, it was very light compared to my LSR.

Bump for Tom to find.  I talked to him about this today and he said all new ones are being built with the location pin like mine.
