Manitou Swinger 6 way onto 02 Big Hit Comp???????(7 posts)

Manitou Swinger 6 way onto 02 Big Hit Comp???????Nate N
Jan 20, 2004 11:36 AM
Does anyone have any first hand knowledge or experience with putting a 6 way Swinger onto a Big Hit Comp? It has the FSR Big Link. It's a 8.75" I 2 I w/ 2.75" stroke.

Think I'm gonna make this upgrade, and was wondering if anyone else had done the same.

Thanks

Nate

Hay NAte...i actually emailed manitou about this...I have the exact same setup...Cept they only replied with the 4 Way swinger...Im usuming the 6 way maybe wont fit...I think the resevoir sticks out alittle more(again im just guessing about this part)...Let me tell you,the 4 Way still ROCKS....It is sooo amazing...You practically wont feel your rear wheel touch the ground and it is as smooth if not smoother than the 5th Element (Im sure this is debatable among everyone here)...Hope this helps

Not anodized..Just stripped it myself and painted flat black really lightly and hit it with a little bit of clearcoat afterwards...its graddually rubbing off but kinda looks cool though......got to cover up and protect those bearings too...also those arrow rims are great...The trailpimps are on the heavier side but are stil bulletproof have no complaints....and ill soon have a Triple 8..ill post pics of them soon.......anyone need a slider let me know....
since when are you getting a 888? sick.mosplat
