Hoglite Swingarms - Up To 50% Unsprung Weight Saving on Tourers First seen in AMD in January for Dyna applications, the enhanced version of the high-performance, lightweight, aerospace-quality Hoglite swingarm from Lexington, North Carolina based C&S Custom is now available for late model '09-'19 Harley-Davidson Touring motorcycles. The high-tech, aerospace-quality extruded 6061-T6 aluminum construction with a lightened hollow-tube axle is designed to boost the performance, with C&S claiming that it has achieved up to a massive 50% reduction in weight. "Our Hoglite swingarms not only provide significant weight reductions, but we've built them to handle high torque and horsepower, including turbos and super chargers," explained Steve Garwood, General Manager. Options include extended length swingarm, air tank and Nos bottle bracket. Upgraded bearings and bushings are offered for maximum performance and extended life on all wearable parts. All Hoglite swingarms are direct stock replacement or custom-built to a specific application. The axle blocks are CNC-machined from solid billet aluminum and allow for factory belt or chain adjustment. The axle blocks will accommodate 3/4", 25 mm, and 1" axles, come with a 2-hole axle adjustment and PARTS AND ACCESSORIES provide 3 1/2" long axle adjustment. The shock tower placement on the Hoglite comes with a 2-hole shock height adjustment; coatings include thousands of powder coat colors, chrome and contrast cuts. Garwood points to suspension improvements as another benefit that comes from reducing the unsprung load “since suspension-related problems are caused by inertia - the greater the weight means the higher the inertia. By keeping the unsprung weight low, the shocks and springs don’t have to work as hard to keep the tires on the road."
