Lets talk about Gen 3 aftermarket swingarms

I mounted 0-4 Evil swingarm

I bought an Evil 4-8” over and paid for them to press new bearings in. Had to send it back because the bushing wouldn’t fit inside the bearings. They kinda fixed one side but the other still wouldn’t fit so I just returned it and got my money back. Brenda at Evil was great to work with and she said they don’t really press the bearings in. She said they didn’t grind enough and the bearings were being squeezed in. All good and I appreciated her customer service.

My friend got an evil arm 0-4” on his zx10 and the pivot bearings didn’t spin at all. Evil said it was supposed to be like that.

I’ll probably buy a DME 2-6” over next.

I havent got any problems with them and i have purchased a few
 
Brenda at Evil was great to deal with. I returned the first arm and they tried to fix it. When it came back and it wasn’t fixed I decided to return it for a refund. If all of their arms had that issue I’d think they wouldn’t be in business. I never said anything bad about the company and was just sharing my experience. They offered to build me a new arm but I decided to go a different route.

I’m in an evil 0-4, I’ve gone back one more holy in the axle block since this picture. I’m debating on getting a 3-7/4-8 and going 5” back or so. 1st gear the nose still gets a little lighter than I’d like it too and it seems like some of the “fast fast” guys started 0-4 and are on 2-6 or more now that these bikes are getting figure out a bit more.
 
Haven't installed mine yet but have a DME Aluminum Swingarm going on my Gen 3 this spring. It's adjustable from 59-63" plan right now is to start at 62" wheelbase.
