Hi there all you TRX lovers, I saw a singlesided conversion for a TRX on the old Evilbay a while ago, I was wondering if anyone out there knows anything about it.

Ride safe Talula

It was a Triumph swinger

Whatever swinger is used, you will need bespoke linkage which works out expensive

Good luck if you go down that route (and keep us posted)

get the trumpy 955i swinger and wheel.. also search the forum as a fair few ppl have done it before.

it DOES weigh quite a bit more than a trx unit, but the sex appeal is very high.

and as stated, you are going to need to play with some linkages to get the coil / spring to opperate properly.

thanks for that, the picture looks really cool, might be worth a look at for a winter project

I don't see the point. What's the advantage of having a single but heavier swinger (except routing underseat exhaust, yep that's important

)
Think of having one single cylinder ofset from the middle...

Falls under the "because I can" category which I favour

don't get me wrong - I wouldn't either but you have to admire the engineering work that goes into it

Are these two here from Hondas? Both the Ducati and Triumph wheels attach using one big central nut, but these appear to have four wheel retaining nuts.

I allways loved seeing a single swinger in a bike, so when i could buy a swingarm from a crashed Triumph i didn't hesitate for a minute.
(getting it in the frame was a different story

)
Seeing the rearwheel rotate freely (well it looks like that) and than specially with the exhaust not blocking the view, i think it looks sexy on a bike. Honda swingers have wheels with four or five nuts and Duc/MV an Triumph have a single central nut

I like what Woti did with his Rex

And another pic of my own ride (again? yes again

)

man i cant get enough of your tdm culater, it really is jaw dropping in my opinion mate.

not a big fan of single siders but yours looks like it came that way as standard. did you do the high level pipes yourself, i like them lots!!!!
always fancied doing that myself. if you have any close up pics of the mounting brackets that would be nice!
