1985 250R Swingarm question?

[Akracing]

173730 Picked this 1985 today for $40.00... Frame is straight.... 173731 Tank is OK and good it rims... 173732 173733 173734 173735 So here is my question, is this stock, aftermarket, or homade? :wondering

[shortline10]

Custom made for sure .

[Dirtcrasher]

That's a strong arse swing arm!!

[Poco Loco]

Not stock. Thats aluminum. Looks like it was make by a skilled fabracator though.

[Akracing]

Ya that's why I had a hard time trying to figure it out... Someone deffinatly put some time in if that's homade and did a decent job... I assume it would be OK to use then? What is stock length? This measured 22inchs...

carrier looks like an 86' -need a better look but I dont see the stud for the 85 brake stay on the swingarm either. -Cant see the frame well enough to tell 85 or 86. swinger for sure not stock^^^^ like they said^^^^.

[KASEY]

HOMEMADE swinger 86 axle and 86 carrier looks like 86 frame too

[Akracing]

Ok well I may move this over too classifieds I really don't need the stuff ... Maybe someone else can use it...

pm sent on the swinger

[Akracing]

Great I prolly should of asked how to put a price homade swingarm1st :wondering.

Interesting swingarm. Tig welds look excellent, some homebody sure new what they were doing. Kasey, is that one of your creations? LOL!

The way the swingarm is solid in front makes it look like it's made for the 88-89 TRX250R. Is it possible this is a Cal-fab unit for an 88-89 TRX250R?

[Akracing]

It does resemble the trx units I seen on eBay... I didn't see and markings though...

I was thinking the same thing because it is solid at the pivot point. Not space for the motor.

Could have something worth a lot of money there. Not sure.

[Akracing]

Nice... would it be marked somewhere? I'm not sure how to identify it? Or is it just a best guess situation?

[aldochina]

that is one serious swinger for sure! It looks like it may have been modeled after a cal fab, but just looks beefier to me. Who knows!! Have it polished up and slap it on ebay, i bet it will make a few bucks for ya! cool find regaurdless!

[Akracing]

Sounds like a great idea... I may just go ahead and do that... Thanks to all for your input...

OE 85 carrier... I would DEF want to know WHAT I was selling if I was selling it !!

[bkm]

It's a 86 carrier. I still believe it's a one off custom job for a 88-89 trx, but have been wrong many times before.

[atc007]

Def time for new glasses ! I thought glancing through it was a 85 lol.. My I love getting old and senile lol. Whatever it is,,it is interesting .

[Akracing]

Almost looks like engine mounts might have been moved too.... Could some have done a swap?

[bkm]

Almost looks like engine mounts might have been moved too.... Could some have done a swap?The pictures are hard to see, but I was thinking it was made for a trx or there was another engine in the atc frame that didn't require the rear engine mount like the 85-87 250r's, so he just made the pivot point straight across. From looking at the other Calfab arms produced, it doesn't really share the same characteristics other than being aluminum.

[aldochina]

post a pic over on trx250r.net, maybe someone there could identify it?
