Title: pick up points for DSS
Post by: The Don on January 16, 2009, 03:19:56 PM
Hello there
Has anyone fitted pick up lugs for their DSS. I have just bought some and there seams to be no factory thread for me to fit the lugs to. Can you tell me can or should I fit them and where should they go.
Thanks in advance
Don

you mean spools?

Pit bull makes some inserts you can drill and insert in the swingarm

Is there a certan place they should be located, for structural integrity.

About on centerline, far enough forward of the axle that your stand doesn't interfere with the axle/nut.

Try to drill a good, smooth hole, no raggedy edges to start a crack.
Drill small, and use a tapered hand reamer to get it just big enough to slip the rivnut into.

This is the other part (the bobbin if you will)

i dont think it is critical where you put it...near the rear axle where you have room for it (and not blocking access to the axle nuts.

FYI- I was taking with pitbull about these and they said if you want to ship them your swingarm, they will weld the spools on for no charge...
just a thought.

Thanks for the offer but probably a little too far considering I'm in Sydney. Thanks for everyones input, much appreciated
