Afternarket Swingarms


JMC

JMC no longer makes swingarms, it is now obsolete and there is little information on installation.
Abbey Engineering reportedly bought out JMC's swingarm line and employed staff from JMC to manufacture swing arms under the JMC name in the North West of England. But they aren't making swingarms any more either now. 1)

But you can still find these swingarms for sale second hand.
These were sold with either slotted chain adjusters or eccentric adjusters. If you wanted you could have the swingarm with additional bracing.
NOTE from the CAS4 website:
The Eccentric Adjuster is standard on all the JMC swingarms (they sold). Both the Pro-Street (P-35) and (P-115) were special order options.
There were fitment notes in regards to the WIDE TIRE applications that are not available now. Offset Kits may be required for wider than stock tires.

The benefits of this swingarm is it's lighter and stiffer than an OEM swingarm (meaning better handling). Also they look good and a very well made. 2)
