Title: New Swingarm,Chain,& Sprocket
Post by: piratediverjefff on February 20, 2016, 02:22:25 PM
Threw on a new Evil arm(2"-6" over,set at 4"/62"),EK 3D chain,and a Vortex CAT5 47T rear sprocket Thurs.May still be able to lower the rear another 1" or so,right now it drops another good 1" when my fat 245 lb. ass plops on it and just don't want to rub a tire if I hit a bump or pothole.

You can tighten up the spring some if it does.

Just finished up tightening up the rear spring. :lol:Was just barely rubbing when I hit a few bumpy spots and was pretty soft anyway so I turned the two spanner nuts down about a 1/2",won't rub now. :lol:

Let's see - you with a 18/47-45 and me with a 19/42.   I am taller than you. 
Title: Re: New Swingarm,Chain,& Sprocket
Post by: piratediverjefff on February 21, 2016, 10:03:13 AM
Way taller. :lol:

Way taller. :lol:

Might go with a 19/43 - then we would be closer.  18/45 to a 19/43 ain't much difference. 5 little teeth.  1=3 up front and two inna back.  Hope that MTC multi stage clutch goes well. And the air-shifter.

Had to tighten down a little on the shock spring when I got home,was just barely rubbing the bottom right next to the taillight(and loosened up the chain adjusters about a 1/4 turn,seemed a little too snug).
Title: Re: New Swingarm,Chain,& Sprocket
Post by: Ghost-Geezer on February 23, 2016, 11:11:28 PM
I had to tighten my spring down as well...............and cut off the rear fender when the wheel went back 3".  Mounted the tag just under the taillight.  Will be different with a undertail kit on it.  Will run 4-1/2 " back.

Looking good there Jeff  :tu: I'm about same weight as you and i ended up going to a heavier rear spring.  Think new spring was right around $100

Hoping to make the ride down south again this year Jeff but unsure at this point.  Just finished my job yesterday and start new one on Monday.  So will have to wait and see what new schedule and vacation looks like once I know more.

Post by: piratediverjefff on February 25, 2016, 10:41:36 AM
Good to know bently. :thumb:Mine came with a Delrin chain slider and all new bearings pressed in and was a snap to install.A friend has over 250 passes(1507 at 18" over with a flat slick)and only issue was a crack in the chain guard(which they replaced at no charge).Super nice people to deal with and had the arm within 8 days after placing my order. :thumb:

Post by: Ghost-Geezer on February 25, 2016, 12:22:19 PM
Bigger/wider/fatter reat tires = more rotational mass/weight = takes more HP to turn.   :id:

Extended swingarms take away power with the longer chain. 8)

Your gearing will more than offset those two.   :tu:

Post by: piratediverjefff on February 25, 2016, 02:34:21 PM
If I lose 20 lbs.(again :lol:)that should make up for the extra 12 links of chain and few ozs. of added tire weight,better looking and keeping the front tire on the ground were my goals(and the new arm is almost 3 lbs. lighter than the stocker...12.2 compared to 14.9 :lol:).

I cannot seem to shake 20 lbs. - 10-15 at most.

P.S. rotational mass is not the same ass the mass-in-yer-ass, asshole.   :lol: :wink:
Title: Re: New Swingarm,Chain,& Sprocket
Post by: piratediverjefff on February 25, 2016, 08:42:13 PM
Not concerned with rotational mass or with the .10 of a second it could cost me at a track since I don't race(other than an occasional roll on every couple of months). :lol:Just now lowered the rear another 3/4",will try it in the morning to make sure there's no rubbing before I throw the belly wing back on.As far as personal weight loss,I dropped 35 lbs. a year ago and so far have gained 28 of it back(was 248 this morning).Oh well,I love to eat. :lol:

 :lol:I seldom eat that high on the hog anymore but I do enjoy a good ribeye on the grill every week or two.My biggest downfall is sweets,have to have a dessert at least twice a day and an extra 300 calories a day adds up to about 2.5 lbs. a month(3500 calories per lb.).

Post by: Ghost-Geezer on February 29, 2016, 10:17:44 AM
BTW, we are staying with the 19/43 combo for gearing..................19/42 is a bit too tall.

Put an Evil on mine a few months ago and like it a lot(2"-6" and set it at 4" over).Was $660 shipped and that included powder coating,chain guard,bearings(installed),etc.Super nice people to work with and only took 6 or 7 days to get it upon ordering. :thumb:

You're probably right(if they're made of the same materials,etc.,I think Terry's 4130 chromoly arm is pretty much the same but about $200 higher with the same options).

Pretty sure he got everything to mount it up in one shot ~ remember that Jeff only went 4"s over & used the factory brake line too .  .  .

Just saw this bro,I'm only 6 weeks late and you probably have your arm by now and should've came with the caliper holder like mine did. :lol:
