Has anyone dealt with swingarm.com / JMC swingarm

Red,

Go and see Dave Kellett. Bob Martin used to make these type of swingarms back in the eighties for a lot of superbike teams. He was going to make me one for my Ducati in 1984 until I met a sheila, sold the bike and followed her overseas.

Kellet learnt his craft of him so I'd assume these would be a piece of piss for him to make and he's just around the corner.

Hi,

I allready put a post on trustpilot.com to warn other bikers for the customer service of JMC.
But i think they (JMC) can't reed because they don't respond to mail reviews etc or they to busy making swingarms!!!!!!!!
Maybe somebody nows other fora that rate company's that will sort any effect. :o :o
It's unbelievable with their customer service that there still in business maybe because relatively cheap compared to other manufacturers.

I understand you allready have two of these swingarm, how does the bike perform with the JMC swingarm can you feel a difference (stiffer) or is it only cosmetic.

 
If the trick with the credit-card helped - why not canceling the order, getting back the money, re-order with credit-card, claim back the money through the credit-card company and get the swing-arm in less than 6 months... :D

just a thought...
 
hi all i had a metmachex on the mirage it did make quite a bit of a diffidence ,and one great thing it had the en centric wheel adjusters so you could not get the wheel out of line, think Phil Todd sold it for me when i got the frame from him
 
Roberto, not too certain if the swingarm change made the difference or not.
81 Jota that I have mine mounted on had that many changes made to it before I rode it for the first time that I am not certain which changes are making the most difference.
I do know she is a totally different bike to ride then my other standard 81 Jota.
No comparison.

I'll most likely cancel next week when I'm back at work.
Had enough of that lot.

I have been TRYING to order a JMC swinger for my Thruxton and all I have gotten from  John, that is his name, are two e mails about 3 weeks apart. I am told he is a one man shop doing everthing. His son no longer works with him. Apparently he make them in patches not one at a time so when he has enough for an order he might start the one you ordered.
I am told he will always deliver however he does not communicate with his customers.
I know his quality is great. I just wonder how he says in business.

Those JK ones look wonderful. How does one communicate with them? I can't read the web page.
 
can offer help if you like. I think they answer english e-mails or phone calls. Here are the contact details:

fone +49 7026 5152 after 16:00, please

fax +49 7026 5208

Thanks for the help. I think I will send them an e-mail and start there. I like the JMC, however sending him a bucket of cash and not knowing if or when I will receice the swinger is a bit unsettling.
 
Thanks Mar,

That explains a lot but the fact stays that it could take forever we are waiting more than 18 months for a swingarm.

Well, I got a response from K&J. They can't do a swingarm for me. I am dissapoined. Back to JMC.
Thanks for the lead anyway Laverdalother
 
:o Did they say why? They clearly state they can make anything (one-offs)?!?

And I have one of theirs in my Jota - so, what was the problem?

thanks
 
Been watching with interest. I seem to recall one of my old Suzukis had a Harris swinging arm on, I know they used to convert and do specials. Maybe worth a look.
 
well - just a 1000Km ride...  ::)

Honestly: couldn't they do that with the old swing-arm on hand (if you still have it and could send it to them...)?
 
I suppose I could send it to them. However, I don't want the bike down for however long it will take. I have a feeling this could take a LONG time.
 
Update!

Tried to get my money back without result had to be within 56 days so that's no option.
Because they don't reply to email or answer the phone i wrote them a letter you ques without reply.
I think i am out of options.

Regards, Robert
 
Robert,
I am the same, pretty well given up on the bunch of arseholes.
Put it down to experience, will not be dealing with them anymore.

Will try and find a website somewhere that I can post negative stories about JMC, may get a response from them but I doubt it.
Or send some Ukrainian hitmen over to pay them a visit.

Beats me how they are still in business.
