    Swingarm porn

    ive come across a few different swingarms in the past few months, and so far i can only identify 3

    ALL of these came from 1982 honda 250R ATCs

    im looking for information on all of these swingarms and the companies that made them. please if you have ANYTHING useful to contribute, do.

    starting off with the ones i have identified:

    this one is a Westcoast, obviously



    this one is a Disco (thanks to triztunes for the ID)





    this one is a DICO (thanks to Courtdar for the ID)








    ***now for the yet unidentified swingarms***

    this looks very similar to an aftermarket suspension setup swingarm for a 185/200S, but it is longer and has a brake stay for an 82R caliper. it is +2 1/2 over stock 82R




    and now last, and least, this beat up lil guy

    notice the stretched bearing carrier. some hard miles haha







    again, identification any and all information about the above swingarms is what im seeking.

    should have a cal fab to add to this collection in a day or so

    very, VERY similar, though the front cross bar is different. look closely. does that make mine an early/late durablue?

    I've seen one other swingarm like this one and they said it was a terrycable swingarm. Enginerd has it now. Shawn 72 did the leg work on it and contacted the man that had them built. He said they were engineered and buit by a company that made helicopter parts if I remember the story correctly. I guess that is the reason for the complex design.
