Title: TT250 1980 alluminium swingarm?
Post by: ghostdancing on April 17, 2017, 06:04:08 pm
do you know if any of the 1980 circa YZ\IT alluminium swingarms can fit the TT250 frame?

Yes, fit a 78 model yz250 swingarm as it has the brackets and lugs for the brake rod and spring that the TT uses as standard, just remember to unbolt the frame plate that the pivot passes through to get the right clearance.

thanx guys..
@ekka: i saw the work you made on your TT.. really interesting!

i also built an HL inspired XT250, but it's not a race intended bike as yours, and it's currently a twin shock; motor is stock and the bike is licence plated for street use

the bike has a kawa KLX250 swingarm, IT250 forks, YZ1980 grafics and some other custom made billet parts, but it's all stock for the rest: it want be a period correct beauty and not a race weapon

problem is that as far as now i did not reached a nice rear suspension behaviour.. that's why want try to go back monoshock. but dont want to mount the super heavy OEM swing, also, i need a slight longer swingarm to balance the longer IT fork

please, email me to [email protected] for your swingarm (i guess i cannot send pm on this forum being a newbie.)
