When I saw your ad I immediately went out to the shop to look at my first tracker makeover. They will not clear the chainguard bracket or I would buy them in a heartbeat. These are the Holy Grail of vintage shocks. $300 is a great price too. GLWS
^^^^
I bought these to install on my street tracker a few years ago and never got around to doing it. I have run out of desire to change it now or in the future, that's why I'm selling them.
I have a complete Radian swingarm...$300 shipped conus.
340mm (13-5/16") Hammerhead shocks (don't know the spring rate). $300 shipped conus.
Buy both @ $550 shipped conus. View attachment 231741View attachment 231742
___pm me if interested...thanks
Is the swingarm longer than stock? If so, how much longer?
By the way, hello all! I've been lurking for a while. I recently acquired an xs with 3k miles. Been sitting since 79. All original so I'll have some oem parts available.
It's about 1" longer overall. The shock mount is about 1/2" farther back and the wheel will be about 1/2" farther back.
The right side wheel bearing is available with 17mm ID. The left side one is not. You'll have to make/have made new spacers
order to use the axle. A few members have installed a few these awing arms and they might chime in since it's not a plug-n-play.
Cheney Engineering makes a step spacer that goes from 17mm up to 20mm. You will need to cut these to length to center up the wheel. If your going to run a disc brake you will need to move the stay bracket to the top side of the swing arm. The swingarm bearings and through bolt are plug n play. No modifications needed.
