Title: Adding Banshee style chain guide to OEM swingarm
Post by: rablack21 on July 18, 2013, 03:32:39 PM

I am contemplating adding one of these chain guides to my factory 86 model swingarm. These are the same ones that all the aftermarket swingarms run and most new quads come with from the factory. I was curious if anyone has done this already. If so, can you post what you did?

From my last build. I was to cheap to buy a $80 banshee slider so I made my own.

Tony,
That looks pretty sharp, but was that really that much cheaper. TM designworks has those guides for $50. Did you actually add that to the swingarm or did the swingarm already come with the mount. I want to add a mount to my factory 86 swingarm so I can add one of these. Since you do sheet metal, maybe you can help me with one.

I know your talking stock swingers...but I thought it could help for a design.
I believe that's an oem banshee guide...

Was cheaper cause it was free. LOL. Yes the mounts were there. I have lots of 86 swingers so I can take a look at something to bolt on.

I was thinking a bracket that would weld on and would use the same chain guide as the lonestar swingarms. The TM designworks chain guide that LSR uses is RCG-002. I would like to weld a bracket on my swingarm that will bolt that puppy right up.

I'll post a pic tomorrow. The 88 I just bought has a bracket welded on the stock aluminum swingarm should be pretty easy to do on the 86 style as well. Pumashine you should sell those!

Tony i would like to buy some of those side plates for the chain guide if you dont mind cutting them out. I can build and gather the rest of the materials. I seen jody build a very simulator chain guide on one of his builds
