JMC swingarm

Just curious has anyone ordered a JMC swingarm recently. I ordered one about 18 months ago (paid more than half) and still no swingarm.
I know they just changed hands and the new mob seems keen to help out previous buyers but after a while I still have no joy.
Has anyone dealt with the new owners, if so what was the outcome?

Before someone writes in laughing their heads off for using JMC, I gullibly believed the previous wanker with the 20 weeks delivery, I'm already feeling down about this so don't jab me with sharp pencils - back to the naughty corner.

that sucks bozo.
we had a guy on here that ordered one,it took a extra long time but he did get it and it was nice.

i can't remember his screen name tho, :pinch: .

i hope it works out for you,

Yeah that is truly a bad deal since so many other talented guys out there could've hooked you up

sorry to hear about man but maybe you will get a call saying its ready soon

Is there a "Better Business Bureau" or equivalent in the UK?

Years ago I considered a JMC swingarm for one of my KZ1000 project bikes but I heard of too many "horror" stories like yours. Instead, I purchased a new and unused Suzuki Bandit 1200 swingarm on Fleabay for $42.00 delivered, had a pal machine a spacer so that I can use the stock KZ1000 swingarm pivot bolt, and purchased PMC shock/swingarm mounts to be welded onto the swingarm.

Thanks guys, as you can see from my profile picture I made a GPZ750 swingarm fit my Z1R
but I made that after waiting for a while for JMC to build one, I stated 18months but to be honest 26 is closer.
I am in touch with a government guy in the UK and he appears to be helping BUT there is still no swingarm. I might add that the new mob are not under any obligation to do anything but it would be nice if they took my previous payments (to previous JMC) into consideration.
Thats why I was hoping someone made a recent purchase from this new mob and let me know if they are better then the previous JMC.

I'm in the uk.
Nobody i know here will touch JMC with with a pointy stick.
Don't think you'd get a result even if you lived next door to them.
Get an xjr13 swinger if you want the JMC look and weld on some bits of slabby gixer subframe if you want matching bracing.

people on the forum should start calling JMC and ask why bozo didnt get his swingarm.....after 100 calls they might get on it.....

Thankyou, I am hoping the new owners get a break and really make this work. I would've thought that by supplying me with a swingarm I would give them a good plug. I am obviously prepared to pay some extra to cover their costs so I'm not expecting charity (so far I have lost A$500 at least).

I'm in. :woohoo:
Bozo, post up the phone # and your customer name, or order #. We can surely make some waves with this.

IM FOR REAL ON THIS.....THIS WILL WORK. JUST BE NICE AND LET THEM KNOW YOUR ON A MOTORCYCLE FOURM AND WANT TO KNOW WHEN OUR BUDDY IS GOING TO GET THE SWINGARM..

I don't know if this is current, since the company has changed hands. The website says under construction. but found these on another forum, yes another guy bummed he paid and got nothing.

Maybe It'll P#@ss them off or help, so far I have nothing to lose and I thankyou for the support. The ZRX forum shows the same replies I had. The guy Mike Roberts is the Government rep who overlooks this whole saga, this is the last reply from Mike and after this Abbey replied to me stating that they are still gearing up but lately no answers from Abbey (new JMC suppliers)

to swingarm, me
Hi, I have ordered a JMC swingarm from John Mc Carten when he owned JMC,
obviously even though I paid most of the costs I still have no
swingarm. I know you are not responsible for what happened but from
Mike Robert’s email (attached) you might be able to help out. If you can help
email me please.
regards

Hi John

Abbey are currently compiling a letter to all customers detailing their
takeover of JMC. (This may feature within the JMC website which has also
been taken over) The letter will have contact details as below. I
suggest you try to contact Tony Edge for a response to your concerns. I
am aware that Abbey are to offer discounts for swingarms already ordered
from JMC - although as an independent business from the old JMC, they
have no liability or responsibility to do so.
