Radian 600 swingarm
- Thread starter OHRider
- Start date
I passed mine along, but I chose a CB750 axle that has a diameter matching the XS650 wheel bearings and spacers. This means widening the slots and opening the adjusters. Moving the shock mounts is also probably a good idea.
There are no "step down" bearings available that I know of that bring it down from 20mm to 17mm. I used these reducer sleeve`s-spacer`s that let me use the Radian axle and adjusters. On my first tracker build I used a QC rear spool that accepted 17mm bearings so it was plug-n-play. Just had to make the right spacers. The shock mounts will need a little tweaking too. In and forward a little. My best advice is what Marty said. CB750 axle and enlarge the slots and adjusters. I`m doing that on my next build.
At the pivot, yes. I believe the shock mounts on the swingarm need to be altered.
There are step down top hat sleeves that I got from Yambits uk. Recommend by a member on this site. It’s in my Welsh Tracker thread. I will link it tomorrow.
