Swingarm pivot bolt sustitute??

[bigred1]

I like many have trashed the end of my pivot bolt trying to get it out of the frame and now I am having a difficult time finding one.

The one in my 250R is a piece of all thread that is the same diameter and cut to length. It's been in there since the trike was redone. I really don't recommend going this route though. I'm gonna replace it soon and really fear what it will look like.

Which trike are you looking for a bolt for?

some one was making stainless ones .... little pricy but when it comes to some thing as important as a pivot bolt worth every dime

all-thread?, that swingarm bolt is probably bent. If you are dealing with a 85-89 250r, 400ex and 450r, you can get a new one from lsr for $60. Do it right, the first time. Its alot easier(and cheaper) in the end.

they sell 15mm round stock in chromoly and tool steel that works great for a swingarm bolt.

i have made them before on my lathe using this metal and it works great.

my buddy just bought a 3 foot length of the 15mm tool steel for like $15 and that will make 3 of those bolts normaly. if you get some metal i can make you a bolt.
