Single sided swingarm - Gen II 10 months 1 week ago #1

OTEC is designing a single sided swingarm for the Gen II. I would love this setup, although would have to rethink my 4-1 setup. Looks real nice and their stuff is usually top notch	VmaxOZ OFFLINE Platinum Max Posts: 2278 Thank you received: 1268

That's interesting Kris, I hope they do a fair bit of WOT while testing the strength of that swingarm, Wouldn't be nice watching a rear wheel go by. I like the looks of it though, That rim is awesome1 Neno17, Easy install of a wide tire on that setup, It would make changing a tire easier too...Something Vmax owners need Haha.	pokeynose OFFLINE Gold Max Posts: 1053 Thank you received: 344

I definitely wouldn't trust it. The Vmax makes too much torque, especially after mods. It would have to be very thick..	No_Max NOW ONLINE Platinum Max Posts: 2621 Thank you received: 2055

Kris where did you find those photos? That mob is really starting to provide a lot of quality gear for MAX, I have purchased the total lowering package, front and back. I can`t wait to get back home and starting to put all the gear I have been stock piling since laid up. Vic	VMAXD OFFLINE Gold Max Posts: 1328 Thank you received: 696

I love the look of the swing arm but that tire is just too wide. If they design it with 240 option would be cool, but like pokeynose and No_Max said that big V4 torque will certainly test the strength of that set-up! vmaxmercer	vmaxmercer NOW ONLINE Platinum Max Posts: 2564 Thank you received: 1028

The part I would worry about are the four bolts holding the pumkin to the swing arm. It looks like stock pumkin so maybe not designed to take all that stress at that location. My 1800 Gold wing has a simmilar single sided swing arm set up so I know they can take stress. GW swing arms and rears are a dime a dozen due to trike industry. If they could be moded to fit Vmax chassis???? I have eight GW pumkins sitting in my shed. Band new with rotors etc.
