oh, the humanity... I forgot to remove my security shackle, thru the swing arm and ... bent my swinger to heck !!!!!!!!!!! I know... da !!!!!!! i was amazed at tha thinness of the swinger !!!!!!!!!!! it looks like a piece of patio door exstrusion, only thinner !!!!!!!!!!! I know.... it wasnt designed for the abuse, I put it thru !!!!!!!! It's a 94 1000f, (91-97 fits?) anyone got one?????? Thanks. I promise to never do it again...X 500 !!!!!!! clean and free, Ripp'n

 

geez, that sucks!.. i think the only thing I cna say is DOH!

 

Dude thats a real gutter

 

i don't know if you're thinking about it anyhow.. but maybe now would be the time to look for an extened swingarm :O

 

Thanks to all that replyed and read... Ya, I went look'n for a custom 'arm, went for e-bay special... 94$ w/ shipping and garantee. needs painting, prices up to 150$, so OK.
Black white and red 94... stock silver arm, any color sug.?? Black rims(get'n ready to buff edges), I thought about buffing and clear powder, maybe I could brace it first... sure wish i could justify the 700+$ mega top and bottom braced, eccentric adjsters alloy animal arm from jmc... but i want a wp shock first... and usd forks, brakes ect... maybe before, the one off alum gastank... I know that shock linkage needs lubed any way... Clean and free, Ripp'n

 

I just about thrashed my swingarm this weekend.. I had a fleece jacket tucked under a bag that I had tide down securely, and the arm of the fleece worked it's way out and caught itself in the chain.. got yanked out, and broke the chain tenioner, and made a little bit of damage to the swingarm on the chain side, so I managed to get it in good enough shape to limp home, wheere i rewelded the tensioner up and made everything good again

 

RX, WOOOOW, glad your OK!!!!!!... I've read about alot of people go'n down, w/ that "stuck in the spocket "stuff.
I thought my arm was not too bad, as it seamed to track OK... than I had another friend look, he pointed out some angles, I had'nt seen. Good thing ,I got the replacement. Only bummed the stocker, is so cheesy...
Clean and free, Ripp'n

 

yeha.. it just slowed me down real quick and jumped the chain off.. what I'm lucky about is it didn't tangle the chain around the front sprocket and that can do SERIOUS damage... .. seen that happen to me on my XL 185.. cracked the flywheel housing
