Swingarm ID
« on: July 17, 2013, 02:03:46 pm »
What year does this swingarm look to be?

Wide mounts

No dents under mounts


Chain guide mounts



Axle slots seem to be same distance as my 73 arm & shock mounts are possibly 10mm further back but there aren't any recesses in the shock mounts like I've read about on 74 arms

My guess a Falta arm with the tabs moved back to 74 spec as the Arms are nearly the same. A real 74 has the dents at the shock mounts   ???

I have the same swing arm on a frame I acquired. It is not a Falta swing arm with the mounts moved back. If you notice the rear plate has no holes drilled in them. It is also not a 74 arm. My frame is rather unique as the rear part of the engine cradle is 74 or Falta but the footpeg area is 73, especially the brake pedal. Mine also has extensive frame gusseting around the steering head that looks to be factory welds. No one here in the united states knows what it is. They just say it is a 74 which it is not. You never know with the CZ factory stuff. It is cool though.

Rear plate does have a 12mm or so hole in each 1, have looked on the oldskool site & they have a stock 74, 76 Falta & 75 Falta sitting together & it looks closest to the 76 Falta, interestingly the 75 Falta has the mounts a lot closer to the pivot
This is the arm I've been given to use, was thought to be a 74 & it was used in another bike a couple of seasons ago with no problems as far as eligibility

I have had all the tubular arms from those years and mine is totally different from what I have ever seen, and I have owned over 30+ CZ's. Yours I have no idea what it came off of. Ahhhhh.......... the mystery's of the CZ factory.

The Falta tabs sure look the same as mounted on your arm even the rear hole in the back tab. For a Black frame Hot setup with the later arm fitted   ;D

Old topic I know but I've worked out that it's a 76 Falta arm, the mounts are wider for the air shocks.


75 Falta 250


76 Falta 400

You can see how the suspension was laid down more between the 2 years & the later position on the swingarm measures the same from the pivot as the 74, I think it would be quite easy to make it into a 74 arm if needed by duplicating the dent & moving the mounts lower & closer together which I'll see about getting done if I have to

Maybe a old topic  , worth it just for the Falta Photos  8), and yes does look to be the 76 arm .Unsure but all the late arms I have are same centres .
