    Just finished another 250r swingarm

    This is probably the most complex and difficult one I've built to date. Its +6 over stock but it also uses a TRX450R rear carrier and all axle parts, but it keeps the standard 250R shock geometry.

    Great job man, how many hours you got into that thing? Did you make a jig so you can mass produce them or you do it one by one?

    Thanks for the kind words everyone I have plans to build a +8 for myself when I get back from Trikefest. Not this same style though.

    I have a jig but its still definitely not a mass produce type deal. I've got...probably 20 hours or better in that one. A normal arched arm that isn't twisted like that I can probably do in about 10 now.

    Raffa I have a plan to do a Tri-z Arm with the aftermarket roundhouse style Banshee carriers. I'd wager those are probably just as popular as the YFZ stuff.
