Hey All,

Looking for a set of wheel spacers for my old style chain conversion swing arm. I'm not sure about the manufacturer(Hal's, Woodcraft, etc..)

Any leads on what type of swing arm this is or where to find spacers is much appreciated!

Thanks

Looks to be the Hal's.

Steve Mackay posted drawings a while ago. I was able to turn a set at lunch on the lathe that fit perfectly. Don't know if Hal's has any more in their shelves but they may be able to machine you a set if you don't have lathe access.

You might do a search here or PM Steve.

I see the brake retention/anti-rotation pin is on the TOP of the swingarm - that would make it Rich Conrath's swingarm. (didn't see that at first) Don't know if they're still working as Racing Motorcycles - but I'm doubting that any of those parts are around. I'd also think that the spacers and bushings are the same dimensions.

Cool - if for some reason they don't work, shoot me a PM and I can make you a set.

'sall good.

I've got 4 sets of wheels so had to figure this out for myself (and Steve's drawings worked perfectly so shoot me a PM if you can't find the drawings in the archives here if you need them)
