I have written an email to JMC about a group buy for their swingarms anyone who would like to get in on this please post here. I don't know if they will do it or not but it would be nice to have a number for them if they say they will.

Thank you for your time, Chris

They still importing them to the US, or they just overseas only?

I know a few retailers stopped carrying them cause they weren't being sold over here.

As far as I know they are still selling them over here. We'll see what their reply says.

price??kinda need to know that before I can say

but very interested

This is what they quoted puddlepirate for one with these options, looks like it includes a tire and polishing. All we want are swingarms. I don't know what kind of a break they will give us , if at all, but it never hurts to ask. you can go to swingarm.com to see what they look like. It's pricey I know, but it looks like you get what you pay for.

Sportster swingarm
Eccentric adjusters
Mirror-polished
180/55/17 tire
Shipping to the US.

£541.00 pounds which is approx. $1012.00 US Dollars.

You can buy JMC swingarms from CAS4. I paid about $900 for mine.

http://www.cas4.com/jmc/jmc-home.htm

If you go to that link it says they do not sell JMC swingarms anymore. How do you like your swingarm ?? Anything we should know about ??

I am in if we can get a deal. I really want one because they look so nice.

It's a great piece. Perfect fit using all stock hardware including the bearings and bushing on the pivot. It's 2 lbs lighter than stock but probably 4 or 5 times stronger. You can run the axle high or low. They sell a special tool for adjusting the belt tension that I recommend buying. It's worth the money.

Thanks for the feedback biknut, looks like two of us so far Ralph.

¿What is the advantage of these JMC Swingarms? I'm not sure I'm warmed up to the eccentric adjusters.

http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a246/Jesse_Bolt/JMCSwingarmeccentricclampbolt.jpg

JB

Lighter yet stiffer and you can get them to fit up to a 180 tire. I need one to fit the Buell wheel on the back to complete my bikes transformation.

Did you get the Shelby yet Jesse ?? Took a ride in the one a guy at work has, had a grin on my face for hours.:D :D :D

Have you guys looked at the LED SLED swingarm? Not as fancy as this one but I would guess you could get a real nice deal on them in a group buy. Comes in a 180-200mm version. The other thing is it's made in Ohio. Just a thought...........:geek:geek:geek

Yep. The Shelby GT500 is in the garage with a car cover on it. Only 310 miles on the clock. Get this, I'm #1 in line for a 2009 Boss 302 Mustang if it materializes. The plan is to keep both along with adding two more bikes to the stable.

Back to the JMC Swingarm. I see what you're doing and understand the need to replace the swingarm. Still, I don't like the thought of an eccentric adjuster. It seems to me raising or lowering the axle on the plane of the swingarm is asking for the brake rotor to run through the caliper at a different angle than the engineers intended. Plus it would be my luck I would spin the eccentric adjusters when I dump the clutch at a high RPM.

I guess I'm old school. It's too difficult from me to change from these tried and true adjusters.

http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a246/Jesse_Bolt/JMCSwingarmWheelAdjuster.jpg

My 2¢
JB

/i am in it for the look and not the extra wide tire. I need it because it is cool.

Jesse, you can order them with the adjusters you had pictured I believe. They'll make them any way you want.

Because of the way it's made, when you change the axle high or low the caliper moves with it and the angle stays the same.

biknut, do you feel the eccentrics could come loose or slip during a hard launch ??

Jesse, you can order them with the adjusters you had pictured I believe. They'll make them any way you want.

If I was to purchase a JMC Swingarm, it would have the old school adjusters.

Another thought on the eccentric adjusters. ¿What is it that rotates the eccentric adjusters to tighten the belt? Good gosh, it looks like too much opportunity to have one side of the axle out of alignment from the other side.

Sorry if I'm coming off negative on these eccentric adjusters. It's just the more I think about it, the more I do not like them.

Here is a recent picture of the Shelby GT500...

http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a246/Jesse_Bolt/2007ShelbyGT50011-12-06a.jpg

Also, when I saw this JMC thread, the first thing I thought of was JMC Motorsports (http://www.jmcmotorsports.com/index.htm).

JB

biknut, do you feel the eccentrics could come loose or slip during a hard launch ??

No f-in way. These things are STRONG as hell. The excentric is about 2" wide and the clamps that hold them use two bolts each. They're way overkill. I doubt 200 HP could budge them. The tire would start spinning before the excentric would ever move.

Power to weight ratio is the best part about the JMC, oh yeah the kewl looks also.:banana

How are the eccentrics kept lined up with each other ?? Looks like the axle connects the two so if one moves the other moves with it. Is it possible to get the axle tweaked during adjustment. Are there markings ??

Sorry for all the questions, but you are the only source I have at this point.

Thanks for your help, Chris

You guys are killing me! :rolllaugh

And that's an awfully tiny bolt holding the axle. ¿What size is it? ¼-20

http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a246/Jesse_Bolt/JMCSwingarmclamp_all.jpg

JB

The way that thing is cammed and locks together the bolt size don't matter as long as it is a superior grade bolt. Besides i'm sure it's bigger than 1/4-20, isn't 1/4-20 kinda small don't you think? Gotta be atleast 10-11 mm.

It says you torque those to 25ftlbs so I doubt it's a 1/4-20 bolt. I like the fact that the wheel assembly can be easily removed. Anything to make maintenance easier is good in my book.

I understand where you are coming from Jesse, biknut has one on his bike so we can get real answers to our questions from someone with first hand knowledge.

P.S. sad day today, I loaded up the 70 and it's off to New York to become a Boss 429. Love having my garage back, but damn I'm gonna miss that car.:frownthre :( :frownthre

That's where the special tool comes into play. There are two bars, one for each side. each bar has two round pegs welded on, that fit into two of the holes in the concentric. Once you install the pegs into the holes the metal bars give you levers to rotate the excentric.

The technique is to tighten the clamps enough to put some pressure on the concentric, then rotate the concentric till the belt is tight, then tighten the clamps all the way. It's very easy to tell when the wheel is aligned by comparing the two adjuster bars.

I hope that's clear, It's harder to describe than to do.

Maybe the $64,000 question is...

¿Why did CAS4 (http://www.cas4.com/jmc/jmc-home.htm) quit selling JMC Swingarms?

JB

I'll call them and ask, you are correct, it could be any number of reasons, but I am curious also.

Comes down to supply and demand, seems like the supply was higher than the demand.

BTW- this part is made in the UK were streetfighter type bikes are the norm versus cruising types here in the states.

I am positive it's a helluva lot smaller than the 5/8-18 (Grade 8) castle nut the MoCo puts on the bike.

JB

I have no idea where Jesse is coming from. This is not the only type of swingarm with eccentric adjusters. This is a sytem that is used in race applications and I would hardly think that they would choose this design if it was prone to failure. See this article about a triumph tiger. http://www.webbikeworld.com/motorcycle-maintenance/chain-adjustment/ http://www.rubbermag.com/bikes/imgs/05_zr1200a_1_600.jpg

This is true alot of production race bikes have been using eccentric adjusters for decades, nothing new.

And that's an awfully tiny bolt holding the axle. What size is it? ¼-20 JB

The axle fits into the concentric. The axle bolt only holds it in place. Once the concentrics are clamped the axle can't move even if you took out the axle bolts and threw them away.

I might be interested. I would prefer the old style adjuster because I can't really see advantage to eccentric type. The main question I have is how will a stiffer swing help if it is still "rubber mounted". I am looking for handleing improvement beyond siimply being prettier lighter. My other question is how are the shocks affected? Will they have to be revalved to take advantage of the lighter weight?

Eccentric adjuster on a ZRX 1100 model, most if not all imports are using them.

The eccentrics make for faster and easier wheel and chain /belt adjustment.

And there is a reason the MoCo doesn't use eccentric adjusters.

Look very closely at the picture. I bet the brake caliper follows the brake disk when the axle is adjusted. Sump'tin that isn't happening on the Sportster.

OK, now add a new brake caliper and mounting bracket to make sure everything works properly.

You guys are welcome to be eccentric all you want. All I'm saying is, it ain't for me.
Just the definition of the word eccentric raises doubts.

1 a : deviating from an established or usual pattern or style <eccentric products>
b : deviating from conventional or accepted usage or conduct especially in odd or whimsical ways <an eccentric millionaire>
2 a : deviating from a circular path; especially : ELLIPTICAL 1 <an eccentric orbit>
b : located elsewhere than at the geometrical center; also : having the axis or support so located

So true. I was just going to dig out photos to show the same thing. The stock rear caliper/bracket could pose a problem.

XLXR, the stiffness of the steel swingarm itself is definitely not your problem. The stock swingarms aren't so bad really, in terms of stiffness.

It would seem that way to me also. That is why I said "might."

And there is a reason the MoCo doesn't use eccentric adjusters.

Not true. Eccentric adjusters are on late model Touring models such as my dad's 2005 Road King.

Cause the MOCo is still in the stone age, :doh even the new XR1200 is light years away from were they've been since 1957.

¿And you aren't riding a V-Rod? Good gosh, the XR-1200 doesn't (thank God) have eccentric adjusters.

JB

¿And you aren't riding a V-Rod? Good gosh, the XR-1200 doesn't (thank God) have eccentric adjusters.

JB

Believe me i wouldn't own a V-Rod and never will,:clap just to clarify that.:laugh

The only thing i see bad about the eccentric adjusters over the pyramid type adjusters like the sportys have,

meaning in a sense that chain / and or belt adjustments from the pyramid adjusters do not affect the suspension setup in anyway like the eccentrics would by adjusting a cam like tensionar like the JMC swingarm does, but were talking sporty and not a full blown race bike, so it may not be a big deal after all.

Oh well, I've eaten dinner and there are 43 posts here and it looks like it's you and me Ralph.

The merits or disadvantages of the eccentric system are a nonissue as you can get any of the adjustment options you want. It's good to hear the opinions on this matter though.

The rubbermounting and handling issue is one we are all trying to get our minds around in another thread, with this swingarm, any flexing of the swingarm itself would be put to rest. I don't really think the stock swingarm will actually flex enough to matter, but the reduction in weight is a plus, of this there can be no doubt.

I leave it to everyone to make their own decisions about this swingarm, I for one am going to get one regardless of the outcome. The merits of it, for me at any rate, far outweigh any negatives I have read here tonight.

It will probably take a week to get an answer from JMC and at that time I'll check this to see how many might be interested.

Xllent01, on your '01, the rear caliper pivots on the axle, and has a slot milled in it that rides on a plate welded to the inside of the swingarm. If you change the height of the pivot (axle) the caliper may bind on the plate. You would want to switch to a setup like on the Kawasaki shown.

We make a similar set-up for Sportsters.

But by the time you're done, you're going to be into the swingarm & brakes for say $1500 or so. For a grand, we can build you a pair of wheels that will save you many (many) more pounds than the AL swingarm will.

JMC piece is very nice. I've long coveted one. Can't justify the price myself though.

I'm with you, i can't see throwing that much cash out the door for one swingarm. For that price i can just about do the
whole 180-200 mod and get a better bang for the buck.:D :D

Hell i can even get my frame cut and stretched 3'' out and 0" up for 1/2 of what that swingarm cost.

I might be interested if we get a group buy. I wonder would we each be able to order to our own specs. ie finish, shock mount location, adjusters. etc.

I might be interested if we get a group buy. I wonder would we each be able to order to our own specs. ie finish, shock mount location, adjusters. etc.

I will certainly ask, if and when they respond to the email.

First of all the stock swingarm is a flimsy pos, designed to handle about 50 HP. Look at the swingarm on a Buell.

Second of all, no modification is necessary to the brakes. No matter how you adjust the axle, it doesn't change the relationship of the brake caliper to the rotor. JMC has that all figured out.

A heavy ass rubber mount Sportster would benefit from a strong swingarm more than any other model because they don't have the motor as a structural member. They have to relay on a stiff frame for handling. Only the motor is rubber mounted, not the wheels.

I might be interested if the price and availability are good. Its been 4000 miles and I have not done anything to my bike and beings its about time I might be up for it. I will keep a eye for updates.

I'm still sitting on the fence with this one. If my homemade one doesn't pan out here in february/march, then I will definitely consider it.

It depends on what the JMC guys have to say as far as price, options, and such goes.

I have not received a reply about the group buy as of yet. I sent them another email for myself inquiring about whether they had a swingarm for the rubbermounts. I also asked if you could get one with any type of adjustment you wanted.
Here is their reply

Hi Chris,
The last original Sportster swingarm we had here at the factory was the 2004 model, whether this is the same as the 06 model I do not know.

If you can shed any light on this it would be much appreciated.

Our swingarms can be supplied with either style adjustment;

Eccentric
45mm slotted adjusters
115mm slotted adjusters
150mm slotted adjusters

Using the 115mm or 150mm would mean the calliper hangar may not engage with the arm if the wheel was at the back of the adjustment, the majority we manufacture use the eccentric or 45mm slotted adjusters.

They have either chosen to ignore my request for a group buy or they are still working on it. I'm afraid I'm a little pessimistic about them going for a group buy :frownthre , but I'll give them a little more time.

so did they ever give you a price?

Got no reply from them :frownthre :frownthre :frownthre

WOw.. Amazing. almost 5 months without a reply. Bummer..

If the pricing was a little less, i'd consider one.. I'd like to have a little more meat on my rear tire.. (A little less meat on MY rear though )

Guess they don't care, It is a nice swing arm and I will bet a nice pair of ohlins would complement it well

Anyone tried to get a price from Sputheengineering. Here is their swingarm. http://www.sputhe.com/alumin14.gif

I tried calling Sputhe yesterday around 5 eastern time, and I suppose they had already knocked off for the day because I couldn't get ahold of anybody. I left a message, so if they respond, I'll post the info.

The website says that they are custom made for your order, so they may be a bit much. Most of the prices listed on their website look decent.

Their website sucks though, not much comes up when you click it.

My wheels are rubber mounted! :laugh

Seriously though, the swingarn pivot goes through the rear rubber mount; so, actually, the swingarm (and therefore the rear wheel) is rubber mounted.

I've also been emailing these guys and got very slow or no response. What they did tell me is that they don't have caliper mounts on the '04 sporty swingarms so this needs to be dealt with. Also, the '04 model had smaller axle shafts than the '05 onwards. I asked them if they could deal with this and never got a response.

Cheers,

Brett

Just got off the phone with Sputhe, and the woman told me that for a Sportster, plain finish it is $1150. Polished is a couple hundred higher. She was reading off of an older price list though, and she said that she wasn't even sure if their guy makes them anymore, as his wife has cancer. She said for more information, call back later this week.

Seems like a possibility, if the poor guy still makes them.

Cancer, raw deal that. You've got to feel for the guy.

I got an email this week and they said they are booked at this time and can't make the swingarms. Try back in six months.

I didn't read thru the whole thread :spank, but has anyone talked with Two-Bit or fabkevin about making one for the forum folks? For the price that's being tossed out, I gotta' believe one of these guys could be...:geek:geek:geek

OK...so what happened?

So that is WITH or WITH OUT the group buy?

So, this is what a concentric axle version without the mega top brace looks like. http://www.swingarm.com/images/WHITE_HAR_SPORTSTER_280_ECC.jpg

the swingarm can be ordered with a different axle adjuster like this one that allows for additional length. http://www.swingarm.com/images/tech_p45large.jpg and this one if you want to go longer. http://www.swingarm.com/images/tech_p115large.jpg

And the top brace will look something like this one, correct??? A side note, this is a swingarm that hads stretch built into the dajusting system. http://www.swingarm.com/images/SUZ_HAYA_250TIRE.JPG

Last question, what is used to attach the brake bracket to the swingarm???

I like that pic of the Busa swing arm...but I'd just have the top brace...

mmmmm....deeeewwicious!!!

Last question, what is used to attach the brake bracket to the swingarm???

from what i understand (from looking at the set up on the zrx 1100) the brake caliper is attached to a bracket that is attached to the axle. to keep the caliper from rotating under braking, the bracket is linked to the swingarm. but here is a pic that will explain it better than i did. :D

i can't say for sure that the jmc swingarm uses the same set up, but i don't see why it wouldn't. anyone wanna chime in and correct me?

A definate here. Looking for the break. I've been thinking about one for a while now. I sent them a E-mail, awhile ago. It took them about a month to reply. The price was around 900 bucks, and like a 2 month lead time.

I think the Lead time is the same...

The brake set-up is fairly simple....if you look at any flat track bike you'll get the idea...http://www.storzperf.com/jpgs/page38.html

To whom did you send your e-mail ? to JMC in England or JMC USA ?

We're currently quoting 6-9 weeks turnaround time.
