Bent Swingarm, Need Help!

[fabiodriven]

If anybody can do it, it's Dirtcrasher. I'll go over there help him personally if you send it to him.

With a carrier being 6"s or so long, a little bit off there is ALLOT of off extended out 5' from tire to tire......

I'd like to see it, I bet it's twisted but the front may be fine. Get those pics up!!

I'm sure it would need a fixture and probably some heat to twist it back and then everything checked with a dial indicator.

DirtCrasher and Fabio to the rescue I hope. Im with the rest of the guys, thats a super rare part and serious money and some ass kissing is in order. Im sure the guy knows that this isnt just some everyday rider beat around Trike but a serious Build it sounds like with the parts described so far. Thats just not acceptable. I would get as much money from him and cut his ass off. When he crashed it and never told you that tells you everything you need to know about him. I dont think I could get over that one if a friend did it to me. Thses Trikes and parts dont grow on trees. Its like stealing your buddys Hemi Cuda for a joy ride and crashing it. Irreplacable and expensive in time and cash. Id cut him off totally. Good luck

^^ my freinds dad has a hemi cuda its a bad mo, but dude I feel yea ive came home beofre and my dad and my cousin will be takeing turns rideing my trike. my dad has MADE me let my freinds ride it, gosh it makes me so mad. i just tell him what ever they break your are paying me to fix it or ill take it out on your ranger lol

[RubberSalt]

Why haven't you kicked his ass yet? I'd kick someones ass if they wrecked my trike after stealing it for an afternoon with no intentions of letting me know, and it's just a peice of junk.

Did you get it fixed yet. If not pm me I have someone that has straighten swing arms for me before cant promise anything Ill give him a call.

[Kfx-xc-racer88]

This makes me sick! tell him straight he's gotta give you $1000 for repairs or your gonna remove his teeth with a pick axe handle!!!!
the thing that makes it worse is he didnt even tell you what he did... NOVICE RIDERS SUCK!!

Here are the pictures. I leveled the front of the swingarm and then measured the height each side of the carrier was above the table. The left side of the carrier is just over a 1/4" lower than the right side.

[fabiodriven]

That is significant dude. You should show your brother in law this thread. Maybe he'll realize what an arse he is.

[ezmoney1979]

F@#K! I would try and bend it back by hitting him in the head with it.

[racer....X]

lol! I agree with ezmoney 1979 !

[Dirtcrasher]

If I were to fix it, I'd lathe up a piece to keep the pivot inline. Then make 2 carrier area spacers for a long strong heavy shaft for the back. Bolt it down to the 3000lb mill and twist it back.

I'd imagine the axle must/hub or wheel had to bend also?

It's not as bad as I thought it would be honestly; He's still a dick

Like I said before, .250 in 6 or 8 inches is 1.5"s at either wheel. I use to tell the idiots with ductwork "Your off a half inch!!" to which they'd say "Whats the big deal man?!" Well 1/4" 60 feet down the trunkline looks like train on a corner

[Mosh]

Billy Golightly has swingarm jigs. He may be able to fix that..Ask him.

[xrider]

The axle, wheels, hubs, and frame are all still perfect somehow.

That sux!!! But it most likely can be repaired, westcoast were not the strongest swingers out there and they did make a HD swinger later on but either way a rare piece today, I hope you can get it fixed up soon.
