Ha, I could do with staying away from pies & beer.
I’ve been thinking about hanging around with Tatey so I can lose a few Kilo’s with the tried and trusted ‘sickness diet’
You won’t normally notice my arms on a Zed as once they are painted they blend in like a normal arm.
The main difference between the 73 to 74 arms is the width of the axle slot. The 73 and earlier arms are 8mm wide each side whereas the 74 7 later are around 37mm wide.
So yes you will need a longer axle
I can’t see any reason why the axles would bend in the 74’s any more than the 73’s. They are all supported the same, the axle is only longer to go through the wider axle slot each side.
If guys are hammering there bikes to bend an axle in a 74 then the 73 axle would have bent too.
My arms are based on the aftermarket CMS arm.
No doubt a secondhand arm is going to be cheaper than one of mine but mine are built from heat treated 4130 aircraft grade Cro-Mo tubing and come with needle rollers, sleeves, seals and snail cams.
The axle is extra.
