hi all. Thanks charie. i did the mod on swing arm length by 1 inch . cut the full spingle adjuster off and had new ones profile cut plus 1 inch to the front this way no need to fill and it thought 1 weld rather than 2 would be stronger { could be wrong} but without the chain tensioner lugs. i drilled and then welded pins for snail cams. do you prefer powder coating or good old paint and laqure? kev

hi squid , cant see no reason that the 125 would not be ok on 40:1 mix but i can be corrected if wrong guys

hi charlie,thankyou for your reply but now i am confused!!!! the 2 swing arms that i have both look like the pic and measure 150mm across the inside back edge. was this a factory part or would someone have kindly widened them for me. will have to dig in the garage and see if i have a striat one. but it looks like i have saved some gas,just slipped it over a 400 back wheel and it looks to have good clearance.. thank you again for your help ... kev

tsr22b, andy.t Thanks for your help. added new development to the question what do you both think of this idea ? cheers again kev

will get one made and send pics. just thought it was too simple,but it would be exactly the same as the siezed one i just took out.and only took that out to remove and reset the foot rest.

firstly Thanks for getting me out of the siezed spingle.after a few hacksaw blade breakages i was surprized how soft the bolt is. i cant move it from the bush, but had an idea as to solve any more problems.why not make a soild bush and tap both ends to take 12mm bolts that way you could still have the grease nipple and should end the problem. any one and thoughts on this or am i just putting off paying
