Drilling Swingarm for brake line

Post by Tomzed » Sun Feb 12, 2012 11:07 pm

Hi guys I was wondering if there was any info on this I've done a search but not found a great deal.
How big are the holes you drill? Where exactly do you drill them? And does this weaken the Swingarm caused anyone any trouble with mot etc

Any help is much appreciated

i drilled 2 x 20mm Dia, one in the centre just behind the shock,

the hole you drill near the hub end there is a (20mm ish dia) circular manufacturers mark from the cast mould, you need to drill central to this 10mm towards the front as if you drill directly on it youll screw up and drill into the hub/bearing holder.
