my crf70 swingarm swap pics&problems

[damageinc2785]

i did the crf70 swingarm swap this past weekend.

here are some problems i ran into:

1. rear axle spacer. the 70 one doesn't fit in the 50 wheel bearing seal and is also too narrow. i used the 50 one and got some 12mm washers to make up the space for now. i will have a billet one made so it doesn't cut into the axle.



2. the can on my FMF pipe hits the swingarm. i put some spacers on the can to push it away from the bike. i didnt want the # plates anyway but if i did this would be a problem.



3. the front brake cable stay. we made one but i am not happy with the angle the cable comes out of the bracket to the arm. i have a 50 stunt arm for it but it just made the angle worse. they work fine but just not good looking for me. any tips/ideas?



4. the front brake hub doesn't engage the thing that stops it from spinning a lot. you have to file that tab down to use the crf50 brake hub and it still doesn't fit in there much at all. should i have more aluminum added to it?



other then these things i love this and recommend it to everyone.

i just put it together dirty to fit everything and make sure it all works. after a couple of week im going to tear it all apart and paint/powder coat/polish everything. also i cut the fender in a rush don't pick on me.

does the chain align up correctly??? I have never used billet hubs on that type of swap just OEM 50 and the OEM 50 chain side spacer..I have never needed to put extra spacers on the chain side..only on the brake side...and that for me has the chain aligned up correctly

works fine had it up to top speed for like 2 minutes no problems no binding

works fine had it up to top speed for like 2 minutes no problems no binding

I guess as long as the chain is not hopping it should be ok..like I said, I never done one with a kewl billet wheel like yours
