that is what I hope to do this this new YT I will be getting.

I doubt it will be as nice as Holic's though.

awww stop it! Hey I did figure out the bearings and spacers for that swingarm when you need the info, let me know.

**LonesomeTriZ** · 09-25-2005, 01:55 PM

I am ready now. Shoot me a PM with the information and I will start tracking them down. Thanks.

**crackshot** · 09-25-2005, 04:08 PM

Throw that junk away. It is scrap now.

**Trikeaholic** · 09-25-2005, 04:27 PM

Ok, the bearings I dont remember off hand, but i will get the info. Use a 7/16 x 5? (cant remember) hex head, and you need some tubing with a 5/8 OD, and close to 7/16 ID, put the bearings in the swinger, put the tubing through the bearings to close the hole up a little, then use the 7/16 hex head as your swingarm bolt. You will have to grind off the weld nut that USED to be for the chain adjuster on the stock YT. keep the old frame parts and look at how it was done. I can get you the tubing and the bearings if you need. Just sit tite and l will get the info from work.

No way is it scrap. I will aork with it and make it nice again.

Holic, thanks for the information. I will stand by for more.

Pm me your addy and I will just mail you the parts. Still want that 125 Bassani pipe?

Nice and heat treated now I suppose? Makes it stronger.

That does concern me, but i am going try it any way. It still appears to be structualy sound. Let's cross our fingers.

Hey Holic, My email address is lonesome00@hotmail.com.

Yeah, I am still interested in that Bassani. i sent you a message a while back about it. But I think I remember you saying you were getting rid of your Z. Let me know what you want, and I will see what I can do.

I now this is a really old thread but I was wondering if you ever got a suspension YT going?

**old-yellow** · 01-20-2010, 09:22 PM

Sorry to keep bugging you Lonesometriz but I was wondering if you ever used the heat treated swingarm to build a suspension YT?
