3wheeler.org on FB has a guy selling a westcoast (looks like the HD not the light) for atc200x for $275 with link. Thought about it, I dont need it now, I will need it after it sells.

Well heck, just bought it. Is there anything I need to know about these? it is a +2 so I am not sure if the stock shock will work, the seller said the shock link (separate small chunk of aluminum)had a small crack that had been professionally welded. Should this be a concern? Again, this will not be a beat trike, it will be babied but I want it to bullet proof. Should I use the westcoast link to copy and have a Billet piece made? (I overthink almost everything so if this is dumb just tell me).

Yep, weak point was the POS aluminum westcoast shock linkage. Even if its been welded the mounting holes are typically wallowed out from years of abuse. Why they made the HD version with an aluminum link baffles me.Originally Posted by RUNMEDOWN
Anyway, its pricey, but you can call HRE and they will make you a new link for that HD swinger. They should still have the template from mine. If he doesn't just send him your link. if I remember correctly it was 160.00

Great. When it gets here I will inspect the bolt holes. Without seeing it I am already thinking of drilling them out and press fitting some stainless steel spacers in. Guess I will wait and see.

west coast arms are so think walled might as well run stock. HRE will make a good arm. I would never spend money on old 3wheeler arms, cheaper to buy new and have it done right the 1st time
HRE all day everyday. I got a garage full of his crap and my own shelf at the shop lol

Westcoast arms are hardly equal to stock and a sweet upgrade over any stock arm. The spacers sound like a good idea imo.

run a new arm and you will see the difference lol.

Gotta remember man...
1. Not everyone has HRE in their backyard
2. I can assure you a west coast, dico, sandscorcher, etc aftermarket arm will kick the crap out of a stock arm in strength and quality.
3. Not everyone has 500-1K to spend on a swingarm.
4. You can buy a westcoast and sell it for the same amount or more due to nostalgia.
To the OP, did you get the swingarm yet? Curious of the shape the link is in.

Not yet; it shipped today. I will post pics when it gets here. I will have it next to my restored stock swinger (I restored mine before I realized I "Needed" the Westcoast one.

So anyone in so-cal can only buy FMF pipes in person? Any why do think his arms are $500-1000K? Why do you think you need to live only 30 mins from him to buy his parts.
Ever hear of a website, phone number or email address. Assumptions make you look like a fool man. Asking questions is 100% of the game

Alright, let's not start mudslinging. I am just saying I know you know Mike pretty well, so likely you get a discount and that is awesome. Wish I knew someone like that.

"I know HRE for many years now so my prices might differ from people not knowing him or having access to the shop"
Thus my comment of having HRE in your backyard. I know an electrician that gives me one hell of a deal too because I have known him for 35 years.
I understand that you can't give prices out, but basic logic would tell me if my little link cost 160.00 I don't think an "average joe" who goes into his shop off the street would be able to walk out with a 4130 chromoly swinger for under 500 bucks.
Not saying its not worth it. His stuff is amazing and top quality!

I like the HRE stuff, but I just am building a retro-racer type trike that I wish I had back in the day using the old Retro-cool parts.
