I may be mistaken, but I think that HD swingarm will only fit the frames it was designed to go with, not just any softail frame. I think the pivot supports are farther apart on that frame, to take the increased width of the swingarm while still keeping the whole assembly strong and rigid.

 

I got the swingarm off of ebay. It's a brand new take off, so if it doesn't work out, I'm pretty sure I can resell it for what I am into it for.

Nice. I think the frame is the same. Guess you r about to find out

 

I'm sure there are a handful of folks who would like to see results at I go, so I'll be sure to post pictures of the progress.

I had a close look at the Rocker swingarm yesterday and took some quick measurements. Warp Factor is absolutely correct. The swingarm will not fit a standard softail frame. Looks like I'll have to list it for sale. It's a shame too, because it's brand new. I guess I'll have to look into one of the aftermarket companies.

Today was the first of several steps to completing the project. I had to made a sleeve and a few bushings to convert the front .750" front axle to work in the 25mm bearings that the new wheel uses. I could not use the stock fender, so I'll go fenderless for a while. Maybe get a fender from a crossbones later.
I really like the way it looks and is centered in the fork the what I think it ought to be rather than to one side like a springer comes from the factory.

great start that looks like its going 100mph just sittin there

 

Looks good.. all the bearings and spacers lined up good!

 

Rock,

Everything lined up perfectly after some slight mods...

That looks awesome!

Thinking about changing just the front on my 09 FXSTC.

Axle is 25MM, should be all set, might have to raise the front fender.

Did you use your original brake rotor?
