lookin for extended swing arm 8 over for a kz900

It looks like we got off topic. Try D&G chassis in Largo,Fl here is there number 727-544-3663 Talk to Dave tell him what you are looking for he can probaly help you out.

Getting of topic happens alot around here. From the start of this post we got. You dont want to do that it cost to much and it looks crazy! From a guy who cant figure out why his caliper hanger is dragging. Must be in Florida from a guy thats from the land of patatoes not motorcycles. And riding lessons from a guy that thinks he can ride twisties on a 77kz 650 Wow really!! Instead of bullshit comments add some useful info, if not go swing from each others nuts some where else!

Wow! Somebody got their panties in a wad cuz they picked on your picture? Read his first post he says he wants to extend it to put a wide tire on. My first response was that he didn't have to go longer to go wider. And I pointed out what I believe to be required mods to actually fit a wider tire that he may not have considered. I can plainly see how that was a bullshit answer. And pardon me for asking if I'm overlooking something on my caliper hanger, maybe my next post I'll ask you what kind of oil I should be using so that you might be able to shine some light on it for me.

:laugh:

what are you wanting to accomplish with the bike when its done?
an extremely wide back tire with a front tire that isnt matched up to is ok if you plan on spending your time going in a straight line the majority of the time ,but will tend to plow through corners like an overloaded cattle truck with the rear wheel pushing the frontend .
same thing thing with a 8" over swingarm ,fine if your running a 200hp motor youre trying to hook up off the line but it will have the turning radius of an occ bike.
and the farther you push the rear wheel back the less weight you have on the tire and the less traction your getting unless your running some sponge rubber racing tire which wont last long.
personally ive seen very few real streetbikes that needed more than a 2-3" over rear swingarm to get the job done,and much more than a 140 rear tire.
not to mention the stress that a extremely wide rear tire puts on the rest of the driveline and transmission

I'd shoot for a solid cruiser.

That's always been one of my favorite bikes. Whoever built it might know what he was doing.:laugh: Whatcha think Kraz1...does the guy know anything?

Kraz1...do you remember what taillight was used? That is a 17" rear rim isn't it?

Another picture of the blue bike...

All Aboard!



This has a swingarm with 8 over it:

Ingenious to say the least. I wonder how many drive shaft supports the dude had to fab for the yellow BMW?bj

Anyone know the years for the gs 1000 and gs1100e swingarms? Pulling the 78 1000 out of storage and looking to stretch it a little bit.

Thanks
