Charge Swingarm with plunger
« on: 05.02. 2012 05:30 »
G'day to all,
    Some friend said that i am crazy because my a10 is beatiful. I don't know may be i am.But i think that i feel better to drive plunger.
So i would like to change my a10 swing arm with a10 plunger.
This is my bike.

Thanks

It's entirely your call Renos, but if it were me making the decision, i would need to trail both types of bike over the same route for a few days, and see if the difference was worth the hassle. Then I'd want to look at the quality of both bikes. Personally I have had my 51 plunger in bits for 30+ years so now that she is on the road she ain't going to anyone else no matter what !!!

Hi Renos, call me crazy to but I like plunger and rigid BSAs better than the swinging arm BSAs.  Although some say swingarm BSAs ride better and maybe so but mine ride just fine. I like the look of the plungers and rigid with the single saddle I'm not fussed on duals seats at all.
With that being said your bike is a very nice bike and if I understand what you are trying to say in your post I think you are looking for someone to swap with you for a plunger bike.
This is only my opinion but I think if thats what you want to do I would suggest you sell your bike for the best price you can get then buy a plunger BSA. Otherwise if you do swap you may need to find a really nice plunger BSA or ask for some money in exchange as well.
Your bike is a nice bike and would possibly be worth more than the average plunger unless it is restored to a very good standard.
All the best with it anyway.

G'day Renos, yep your as crazy as the rest of us,  ;)
 I have a plunger and a swingarm and love them both. If I had to keep only one it would be the plunger.
