RE TT XT 500 ALLOY SWINGARM

[Marc.com]

I guess we also overlooked the alloy TT swingarm, bolts straight in, then you need to mess with the , rear brake backing plate, brake lever depending on how old the bike is you are fitting it to.

I am doing TT at the moment with 2J2 (CDI) engine, WB swinger and Simons forks, should be decent.

Asasin,

How did you find the way it turned? A lot of people think that the longer swingarm will make it slow to turn but changes to the front end will fix this.

After Conondale I've put on two MOTOZ tyres which make it turn much easier and I've played with the suspension. Conondale gave me some new ideas and directions for the suspension overall.
Basically, what you rode was a pig!

I found it a little twitchy (sledged) when turned really tight but that was probably the tyre. It turned very fast if needed It was definatly no pig! you need to ride more old bikes ,try anything pre 74 (just kidding) prehaps you could fly out and set up my RM B or shall i just ship it directly to you

It's taken me ages to reply to this, thanks asasin, I appreciate the comments.

I have fitted a new tyre which has helped. I've slowed the rebound which is making the front stick better and I've moved the bars forward about 35mm. All three things have made a big difference. See you at CD6 for your next test ride?

As for coming over to play with your bike...............if i could, I would in a flash, it's just that life gets in the way of these things

Cheers
