I need inserts for a westcoast swingarm

[Shandad]

I bought a parts trike and scored this swing arm amongst other things like an unconfirmed 310 jug :). It's a +4 Westcoast. Only thing that's missing is the shock mount inserts for it. Any ideas where I can find 1 or 2 before I run down to the local machinist?

Those look easy enough, for some reason I thought those inserts were curved??

they are curved...

Pm "sportvette" on here ,,, he is the last one i see that was going to do some of these!!!

i had x.system make the batch last time for us. he ran into trouble with the fab and took a little while last time. he doesnt pop into this site anymore but i had contacted him through emails. i had to get an extra set but sold it off to D-dub. there was someone else that went in with me and also got an extra set: 250rs-neva-die. he may be willing to sell the extra set off to you. we had them made in stainless steel. i think you would end up paying around $100 for the inserts. thats what i sold my set off for. also around that price is what x.system would charge to create them again.

In can't make the outside curve without a CNC....... I'd have to hand hack it in the mill :(

Thanks for all the info guys looks like there is a trip to the local machine shop in my near future. :(

[Dirtcrasher]

Are they just steel inserts with a curve, a shoulder and numerous bolt holes?? Is it stainless?

[Shandad]

I'll pull it out tonight for further examination

[Shandad]

It does have a slight curve to it and nothing has panned out so far. Here's some pics of the spacer out of the swing arm.

[sportvette]

do you want to send over your email address and i can forward over to x.system to see if he is interested in another run? if so, pm it to me...

[Shandad]

Got them and I can get more...

[D-dub]

If any one needs a set of inserts for there WC swinger I have an extra set.

If I could sell them for $100 I would make them in a heart beat. After all thats what I do. I could program that and have them run off in under and hour.
