Performance Bagger Billet Swingarm
Georgia based Hawg Halters (HHI) chose Daytona Bike Week 2024 to launch a new product design that had been in development for more than 12 months - an advanced performance Bagger billet swingarm with unique features and what HHI is describing as "very aggressive" pricing.
"Several well-known builders have already showcased this lightweight design on their Daytona builds and the reaction has been very strong," says HHI's Mark Thompson. "Those builders include Hoffman Designs, So Flo Cycles, Unknown Cycles, Deadwood Custom Cycles who all showed at Daytona, plus Mid Glide exhaust specialist SPF Fab."
It ships fully assembled, including pre-installed bearings and sleeves, and is a complete time- and cost-saving ready-to-install kit.
The swingarm components are precision-machined from 6061-T6 billet aluminum, chromoly and stainless steel and is said to reduce weight by over 20% compared to a stock swingarm.
"The main swingarm is a three-piece assembly and one of the unique design innovations we have incorporated with a massive interlocking hi-strength, thermally press-fit keying feature that provides precision alignment and permanent construction."
Assembled with 4 hi-strength 1/2" diameter 12 pt polished stainless steel, heavy flange ARP bolts, it has a positive lock-adjustable position axle locator system, provides 2 inches of full axle slot adjustment (2.5 times greater than stock) and a keyed axle locator plate that eases axle installation.
There are exclusively designed and made stainless steel inner swingarm axle protector plates; the design allows maximum axle installation torque, promotes positive axle position and prevents damage to swingarm billet inside faces.
A multi-point shock mount system allows the swingarm to go from stock to +1/2" height - a unique design that, among other benefits, allows installation of most shock absorber brands without spacing. The swingarm is designed to work with shocks ranging in length from 10" to 16".
The "extreme strength, lightweight hollow axle is made from 150 ksi heat-treated medium carbon steel alloy," says Mark, "which has been precision-machined for close tolerance fit and nickel plated for long lasting durability."
Additional features include a stainless steel 36 mm hex axle nut with stainless steel stock type H-D retaining rings supplied as standard. It is designed to fit 2009 to present H-D Touring bikes. The swingarm is designed to allow for up to 200 mm x 18" tire size.
