Few swingarm install questions.

[SS4Luck]

I’m finishing the install on my evil arm tomorrow and have 3 questions:

1) are any of the axle blocks reused from the stock setup to the evil arm? Or do you just slide the axle through and torque the nut down?

2) do the adjuster blocks just slide into the end of the arm tubes and get held in place by chain tension/axle bolt torque?

3) what’s the torque spec on the pivot bolt nut

Okay answered all my questions as I read last night

The flat sides of the axle head are held in place by the slot in the arm. The end plates just sit in and are held in place by everything else. 70ish ft lbs on the nut.


Time to get low.

Oh... Fun and low! I feel so weird pulling up to a light with your knees bent the first time. What's your plans on the front end?

I have an appointment with my suspension guy next week. The forks will be resprung, revalved and lowered internally. I really only ride freeway / racing stuff so I’m planning on 2.5ish inch drop

Pics of the new arm installed please.

And pics when you get the fromt end lowered too.

That sir is the right way of doing it! Looking forward to the finished results you post.

Here’s at the lowest adjustment on the arm. I need to put the shock link back in tomorrow but I gotta do thanksgiving stuff with my wife tonight.

I stripped one of the brake line nuts at the abs block and that took an hour of yelling and throwing poop off my overall work time lolol

My plan is to go low low though. About the only nice part of California is our roads are pretty nice

Looking good! How long is the arm?

0-4, not looking to have traction issues from being too long and I don’t think the Gen 3 look at good +8-12 like the Gen 2s do. I want to be able to tuck the tire in the stock fender and not worry about ripping the rear diffuser off.
