ISO: Radian Swing Arm Chain Pullers

[dougmuise]

Hopefuly this is not too far off-topic, but I'm fitting a Radian swing arm to my XS and it's missing the chain pullers/tension adjusters & these are no longer available from Yamaha. Have had no success with eBay or local junkers. Does anyone know if there are other models/years chain adjusters that will fit this swing arm? Is it a pretty standard size?

Cheney Engineering makes chain pullers. Do you plan to bore out the Radian pullers to 20mm and use the 750 Honda axle?

Thanks, halfmile! I'm going with the CB750 axle & maybe shifting the shock mounts forward a bit.

You will have to move the lower shock mounts in a little. I used a 4 position mount.

Faced with the same issue years ago hacksawing and filing converted a set I had laying around from "some other swingarm" to fit the radian. Sorry I can't tell you which.
I have the same issue now, I have one more radian arm than sets of axle adjusters.

Halfmile, where did you pick up the 4-position mount? Cheney Engineering?

Yes Cheney Engineering. I lucked out on the rear wheel pictured in post #4. It`s also a Cheney knockoff spool and used 17mm bearings so it was a direct fit with the stock Radian axle. All I had to do was make spacers.
