Hello all

Some may remember me from awhile back, basically was given a DT175MX - in a very bad way. Plan was to slowly get i back to a usable condition, for greenlaning etc

Anyways, I have started to strip it down

forks are removed - not yet split

engine removed partly split

swing arm is a write off, its rusted through in places an is now like a spider web, my question is....Mine has a box section (square) swing arm, could i fit the round tubed swingarm?

either seem to be as rare as hens teeth - do they all rot or something??

Yes you can fit the round swinger with one small caveat.

You need the shock to go with it. The top mount is different between the 2.

Good news is you can change the sw arm mount on the shock.

ah nice one thanks, they both are thin on the ground so at least having both available makes it a bit easier

I need to replace my shock so thats no biggie...

 

thanks
