I noticed there is a threaded piece welded on the side of the swing arm, mines not like that. Anyone know what chain slider was used on this swing arm?

Reason I ask is I'd like to gusset my swing arm where the oem chain slider holes crack/fatigue, I've welded the holes up and redrilled but I know it's gonna crack again. So I'd like to try a different chain slider that doesn't mount like the oem.

That's just an oem swinger that's 88-90, the later model chain sliders bolted on from the side. Just order a new oem slider.

87 swingers **** so they updated the slider mount to the side.

weld a 1/4 inch thick plate to the top of the arm then cut the slider ot fit. did my buddies that way and its still holding up, no cracks.

Thanks Shawn, cworobec.

I think that idea is going to be the plan, thanks

forgot to add, i welded a threaded round piece to the side where the 88-90 slider mounts. no more need for the threw bolt.
