Twin shocks alloy swingarm

Hello West coast
Can you send me the pics of the 510 pro-circuit in high definition ?
I think I have lost the pics you sent to me ( I know , I'm a sucker )
Thanks

I have fit the blue shocks to the silver frame and moved the shock location to the top of the swingarm instead in the center of the side. This really requires re locating the top mount on the frame. I have a feeling at least one of those pictures the top mount has been moved. The idea is to have the top mount and the swingarm attachment point equidistant from the swingarm pivot for best chart of wheel travel vs shock travel. Mounting shock on the side of the swingarm with top and bottom hemi joint was good to fit longer shock but is easier to hit ankles on and also very east to hit the bottom of the spring in a fall like coming out of the woods onto tar in an organized ride and gassing it to have the rear end go out the shock hit the tar and bend the shaft. I bent one that way and bent another in a mild off road fall over. And bought a bike with a bent one as well. You might also notice not all of those alloy swingarms folks have posted pictures to have the blue shocks which most likely were the most advanced. And the longest.

AS for the banana swingarm that was used to be able to use longer shock.

Sorry I didn't add anything about the aluminum alloy this thread is supposed to be about. From what I undestand the sweedish steel comes from an igneous deposit not a sedimentary deposit and this is why sweedish steel has been prized for generations. I suppose it hardly matters by now with electric furnaces and inert gas shielding and who knows what else is available. I hope these frame tubes are from those ore deposits. At any rate if you use hacksaws or milling cutters on these frame tubes they sure aren't mild steel as you find out.

I had talked with Novation Racing about 3 weeks ago. I was told that they have made and still make swingarms for any dual shock year Husky. I had called to find info on my 1984, as I did not see this swingarm listed on the web page. It is my understanding they can alter or taylor the length from stock if needed. The info I got, said the 1984 Husky swingarm would be a Banana type, similiar to the 1981 Maico listed on the website.

Thanks and Happy Holidays

Many thanks.

i like the looks of the alloy swingarms....but have yet to break a Husky stock arm...kickstands blow goats..but the arms are great.

This got me all excited. I went out to look in the bone pile for something else and viola my dr400 had a silver swingarm. I dug down with great enthusiam only to see rust where the paint wore off the steel.

I've written to Karl Landrus 4 months ago , and he told me he could make HVA alloy without problems.

Hello:

If your swingarm will fit for my Husqy CR500 year 1983 it could buy it. What is its price?

How much are you asking for it RUWFO?

Just reading through this, A friend of mine has modified an 86 husky alloy arm to twinshock on a 84/85 frame. Apart from the twinshock mounting points, He shortened the front of the swing to the same overall length dimensions as the steel arm. Looks good, I will try and get a photo of it. Interestingly I have an article which is a PC upgrade to a 510 and they made an alloy arm around 1"or 1.5" longer than standard which is pretty much the same as the 86/87 arm in length.
IMO the simplicity and look of the steel arm with the shocks mounting through the tubing is terrific though.. If we all had alloy arms we'd be drooling over the super trick cro-mo items...

Yes SA63 , the neighbour's garden is always greener !

If it will fit my 81 430 CR i would like to buy it
