Title: Answer found: PitBull spool rivnut + alu swingarm question Post by: ducatiz on August 03, 2010, 03:17:31 PM I put PitBull spools on another bike -- hollow steel swingarm. No problems. Rivnuts squashed perfectly.
But now I am looking at my 900sp, which has an solid-bar aluminum swingarm. No place for the rivnut to squash. If I drill into it with a 25/64" bit, it will make a clean hole straight thru. Has anyone put these onto a bike with a solid swingarm? Title: Answer: PitBull spool rivnut + alu swingarm question Post by: ducatiz on August 04, 2010, 02:24:09 AM I looked on the Pit Bull website:
http://www.pit-bull.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=PBMSA&Product_Code=F0013-001&Category_Code= (http://www.pit-bull.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=PBMSA&Product_Code=F0013-001&Category_Code=) Net: Do not use riv nuts on a solid swingarm. Allows spools to be added to hollow swingarms. Drilling required. so the net is that I need to drill and tap a smaller hole in the swingarm, no riv nuts. I am thinking I might use helicoils or similar to have steel teeth instead of a steel screw into the aluminium. The mounting screws are 6mm. |
