1973 TX650
Hey everyone,
As the title reads, I am looking at installing a newer (1974-1984 models) swingarm with bracing on my 1973 TX650. I want to do this for better support and handeling, but also because my 130/90 tire seems to rub on the right side of the current swingarm. However, this seems to have only rubbed off the bristle-like material on the dimples.
Here is the ebay link to JoeWiseGuy's package ( http://www.ebay.com/itm/2-XS650-bla...ash=item5b162e282c:g:yBwAAOSwMmBVvDLd&vxp=mtr )
I am wondering, mainly hoping, that the package will be a direct blot-on fit. However, I did speak with him and he informed me that I would need a late model axle (a bit longer) to work with his package. He also said that I might need to add some washers to work as spacers.
I just don't know if it's worth the $250-$300, unless there is a better option. Such as fitting a TX750 swingarm on my TX650.
I would like any inputs on this subject.
