Swingarm damage, need some advice. (pics)
2 Attachment(s)
I'm doing some cleaning on a rather new to me Superhawk, about 18 months. I know I should have seen this earlier, but I need some advice on whether or not this is safe. The gouge lines up directly with the sprocket nuts so I'm thinking the previous owner had something not tightened. What so you guys think, rideable or replace?

My vote would be to replace - Given that the swingarm is hollow, that is a major compromise to the strength of a critical component.
|
Replace with a nice used one..... I just sold one for $40.. there are more in that range... Replace
|
:iagree: That's at least halfway through...
|
Yeah why chance it? New swingarms are cheap on ebay and probably even cheaper if you buy from someone on here.
|
replace it or upgrade to something thatll make the bike more rigid :)

What kind of upgrade?

My first thought is "yipes". Still, it's probably ok. I'd ride it as-is until you can find another one cheap (if it's a big deal to you).

I got a extra swingarm, $40.00 plus shipping seems like a fair price... PM' me

No special tools per se, but you will need to take the weight off of the swingarm to do it (and this can't really be done with regular rear stand cause that uses the swingarm). Hang it by the subframe to the rafters or anything that can hold 400lbs and start unbolting!

Holy crap! I wonder what caused that? Did he just put too long of a bolt in there? If im not mistaken the whole bracket for the chain guard is missing so it had to have been something pretty rigid.
