Title: Cracked swing arm
Post by: Dreamer on May 26, 2014, 09:21:17 PM
Pulled the swinger off to install the new bearings and found it had been welded previously and there is a small crack in the weld. one side of the swinger had also been welded on and is kind of jacked. Trying to decide if i want to have it re welded or pick up another 88/89 swinger.

Imo I would get another.  Or if you ride hard ditch it and get a steel one.  I never had good luck with the aluminum ones.  Welded them up on more than one occasion.  Course we had a Walsh steel one crack before also.
