Thor swingarm

[suzuki27]

I finally got hold of a Thor Al swingarm for my RM 250 B - but no chain adjusters.
It hasn't arrived yet but I'm hoping someone here has an idea.
Can you use stock? Or does something from another bike fit.

Yes, I used the adjusters from a 250C for mine

Thanks for that Johnnie.
Is that the 78(steel)  or 78.5(Al)?

C2 alloy. Just thinkin it might be a DG arm on my RM. Getting confused with my Maico which is totally different setup.

Bill i got some folded up out of stainless will try to post pics  C2 ones dont fit a Thor arm as there only 14mm wide and a Thor arm is 25mm wide at the axle mounts .

Hey Bill,
So you would need an new axle as well then…?

Yep needs to be about 30mm longer at one end  dont seem to matter what end as long as its not in the middle

Thanks for that Bill. Sounds like a bit of tinkering is in order.
The seller tells me I can use the standard swingarm pivot bolt . I didn't know about the wheel axle needing to be longer.
The seller did mention that they were known to crack at the shock mounts and to get a bead welded to all sides of the mounting tabs- i suppose that would be top & bottom!!

I HAD A AXLE MADE AND USED RM465  SPACERS AND LOCKNUTS WITH
