    Question about a 350x swingarm

    Has anyone ever tried or succeeded in putting a 450r axle in a 350x swingarm? I am curious if it would fit and what I would need to do it, new carrier and bearings whatever is needed. I googled and searched the site but couldn't find anything but the 450r swingarm conversion, I already have the 350x swinger but can get a 450r axle for free from my buddy. Thanks guys.

    It has to be milled down, shock linkage ears welded on the frame and either use a 250R shock, 450R shock (stiff) or find something else.

    Dust caps are eliminated, thrust washers on the sides - quite a bit to it........

    I'm working on one as we type.....

    it want work the 450r carrier is much wider than a 350x carrier,but you can make the entire 450r swingarm like dirtcrasher explained

    ok thanks guys. I already have the 350x swingarm so I guess I'll keep my eyes out for the 350x axle.

    I'm avoiding the old stuff like the plague.......

    The next build will have all 08 TRX450 quad running gear. Cheap and replaceable for years.

    I can mill the 450 swingarm for people but you have to fab and weld 2 ears onto the 350X frame and it has to be done WELL.
