Just had to tell someone.
A virtually pristine ally swinger removed from a custom monster built by Streetfighter mag some years ago, so no marks or accident damage.
And its the one with the flush riv-nuts for the hugger fixing.
And its seen little use, so no galvanic corrosion from the steel spindle plates either, and presumably no scars from repeated chain adjustment either.
I've been after one for a couple of years and they usually seem to go for upwards of £100, and that's usually with some knocks and dings or corrosion.
Would you believe .....THIRTY QUID !!!!!
I say again, THIRTY BAST'D QUID. :woot:
Bought from a very nice sounding gent called Dave who used to edit the mag.
Been sitting in his shed for 20yrs, just waiting for me.
I'm a delighted ebayer.
I still do a little celebratory dance every time I think about it.

Its bare, with no spindles, chain adjuster blocks etc, so I'll be looking for a few bits if anyone has anything lying around.

Nice one Jeff. :drunk:

To confirm, you need a new swingarm spindle, wheel spindle, chain adjusters, adjuster side plates, chain guard, and hugger.

Although I'm sure you could make the spindles - basically the same but a tad longer due to the thicker swingarm. :thumbsup:

If the blocks are the same as the SS ones, then I have diagrams with dimensions if you want to make your own of those too.
