Does anyone know the thickness of the round part of the chain adjusters and the oval shaped shims on the PDI/T&M swingarms? Also has anyone got any details of the original tensioner sold with these swingarms? I am missing all these parts. Thanks
Purchased from a USA seller, as a new , never installed arm?
from minnesota
did it have the bores machined?
You might have a swingarm from the salvage sale after PDI
closed
A local dealer here had alot of PDI arms, that were purchased for
pennies on the dollar
NOT HEAT TREATED, no hardware etc
Sat for years, a person bought the arms, and sold the arms to
people without hardware, heat treat
He ran an Ad in the AHRMA mag for many issues until he sold out
Be cautious about any PDI arms
I know of 1 swingarm that blew apart after a jump
At least if you have a one in use, inspect after every ride
The dealer still has any stockpile of PDI pipes
for 80-125
at least 50 plus hanging
Ovals = die cut steel .0625 thick
chain adjusters=.125 thick washers, with a fine thread rod welded to washer
chain tensioner= basic 1.25 x .250 thick aluminum plate with .312 holes , chain wheels, spring

If you get lucky and someone with ambition
reads it, they might locate some nos PDI parts
They had pallets of PDI parts, and so much mx crap from
the 70's it will boggle your mind, I was walking through the
yard recently, 50 or so watermelon crates stacked to the
top with mx engines from the 70's to early 80's
Flatbeds of bikes enter every week
Many old semi trailer stacked to the top with old dealer inventory
case after case of fenders, seats, sprockets, ignition parts
exhaust systems, they lots of Can Am parts
Rows of 83-87 Honda parts
The Shop

Is this dealer Sport Wheels that you mentioned?
I know who sold the parts
but I am not going to print his name
get a 2005 ahrma mag he ran ads for years in the 2005 to 2008?
Heat treating would be a great idea
Sport wheels has trailers/ buildings full of parts
When i venture to sport wheels it is usually a 3 hour minimum
to find what nos parts i need, and i have been buying parts there
since 1981
The bad- you have to find a person there that is into dirt bikes
and cares about customers and can look through the massive
amouts of Street parts mixed in
I would like to know what these are machined out to to use on RM with 14mm pivot bolt. I was thinking if the spacer tube is 14x18x2, that leaves 18x24x3 for bushing/bearing and that will leave a wall thickness of around 4.75mm in the swingarm. Not sure if this is enough so i am trying to find out what the finished swingarms were machined out to in that area. With the chain adjusters, since you say they are 1/4 thick does that mean the threaded rod is 1/4 too? I did try a 8mm bolt and that does fit in those slots. I would not have a clue where to find AHRMA magazines. Thanks for your help so far.
currently these are just a rough 18.75 bore
the 8mm studs to
You will need a quality set up, to line bore the pivot hole's for the bushing's
So they are parallel with your axle slot
