So since I have to get a new swingarm I want a little longer one. I understand the GS100 is the hot ticket but what do I need for my bike to make this happen. I have searched and all of the info is related to 1000s and 900s. I am 17 and this is my first bike so I am pretty new to all of this. Will a 900 or 1000 swingarm fit? I am under a deadline because the powdercoating guy is going on vacation in a few weeks so I would like to get the ball rolling!Please help!

That was harsh Okatar! Next time try asking a couple of questions instead of jumping the gun. Us young guys may not know it all, but we doos know some.

I didn't think Otakar's response was harsh at all! It was simply factual. The powdercoat guy may certainly be correct about the swingarm being trashed, but the previous owner couldn't have driven the bike with the swingarm like that because the bike would have been flopping around like a live tuna on a pier. He would have stopped riding long before the swingarm pivot deteriorated to the condition shown or he would have wrecked. Also, if you look carefully at the damage, it looks like it took a pretty hard shot toward the rear of the swingarm tube; that's no normal wear pattern. Maybe somebody (the previous owner maybe?) whacked the outer race with a BFH trying to drive it out of the swingarm. Ed

im gonna say he was a little rough on the kid,i know a member here from missouri that put a truckload of miles on his freshly ground up restored 900 that didnt remember to install the steering head races in the steering head before assembling the front end .he put a lot of hard miles on that poor bike before i drove down from nebraska and figured out the problem for him! :laugh: so anything is possible!wrangler615 wrote "That was harsh Okatar!
