Swing-Arm Shaft

(1/2) > >>

dezracer:
Can I buy a high quility bolt to use inplace of the swing arm shaft?  I have a hard time paying $27 for a bolt.

Paul:
As long as the specs are the same (grade, length, thread pitch, etc...) you'll be fine. The one in my old CR500 came from ACE Hardware on Southern in Mesa ;)

Rick:
I'd pay the $27...and I'm cheap. Just ask anyone.

$27 vote here. I'd hate to bust a swingarm bolt while riding and having the rearend fall apart. Not cool. Cheap insurance.

Paul:
I'm not sure I understand the differences... a grade 8 is a grade 8 is a grade 8. As long as all the bolts specs are the same I'm not spending $27 dollars for a $5 bolt.

BTW, that CR500 has had that bolt in it for a few years now and it sees alot of abusive big air track time at the hands of my brother in law.
