    I need inserts for a westcoast swingarm

    I bought a parts trike and scored this swing arm amongst other things like an unconfirmed 310 jug . It's a +4 Westcoast. Only thing that's missing is the shock mount inserts for it. Any ideas where I can find 1 or 2 before I run down to the local machinist?

    Those look easy enough, for some reason I thought those inserts were curved??

    i had x.system make the batch last time for us. he ran into trouble with the fab and took a little while last time. he doesnt pop into this site anymore but i had contacted him through emails. i had to get an extra set but sold it off to D-dub. there was someone else that went in with me and also got an extra set: 250rs-neva-die. he may be willing to sell the extra set off to you. we had them made in stainless steel. i think you would end up paying around $100 for the inserts. thats what i sold my set off for. also around that price is what x.system would charge to create them again.

    Are they just steel inserts with a curve, a shoulder and numerous bolt holes?? Is it stainless?

    It does have a slight curve to it and nothing has panned out so far. Here's some pics of the spacer out of the swing arm.

    If I could sell them for $100 I would make them in a heart beat. After all thats what I do. I could program that and have them run off in under and hour.
