Re: rsv swingarm
Done it at last, 2 days of sweat n blood then all it took was 10 minutes with a bit of help from british gas and a block of wood.
I ended up leaving it on the cooker for about 10 minutes then smacking it onto a block of wood and hey presto out it popped
now I have to trim it down in time for now bearing arrival.

Re: rsv swingarm
Yey! finally went and did it, total time approx 11hrs
I'd just like to say cheers to everyone for the info and advice
and a special Thanks LOADS to Kev for the triangle template
Now it just needs a good wash all over

Re: rsv swingarm

Re: rsv swingarm
Nice job there mate, looks the biz!
It'll be a shame to hide it behind the big daft standard can though
Did you go away from the standard shock while you were at it? If so, what did you use?

Hi Weirdo, I used the standard Raptor Shock with new triangles made from Kev's template he sent me,weirdo wrote:Did you go away from the standard shock while you were at it? If so, what did you use?
they move the shock away from the swingarm so no grinding was needed.
Just been out on it for the first time and it feels great, just need to soften shock as it on hardest at the mo (ideal for standard swingarm as it stopped it bottoming out) it's too hard for rsv swingarm, I need a bit more travel.

Re: rsv swingarm
Hi does anyone have a copy or the template of the triangles.
Plus can anyone direct me to a guide for this process. ie fitting the rsv swinger.
Many thanks
Mark
