lookin for extended swing arm 8 over for a kz900

I have seen the GS 1100e aluminum swing as the prefered choice. Does anyone know if the steel swing has the same basic deminsions as far as the 2" extention, pivot width and ease of swap.

I don't want to runover your post, only add to it as I am looking to do the same as the original post.

Thanks
Thom

The original post asked for information about where to get an extended swingarm,what he got was more opinion, and reasons why he shouldn't, cost prevention, and everything but what he asked about, :blink:

That guy don't know much.

A Custom Chrome Cats Eye Tailight that's not available any longer, and a 5.50 x 17 Akront Aluminum Rim.

Yes, the GS1100E and GS1100L arms do have the same dimensions, and I have one of each for sale (see attached pic). What make the old L model arm cool is that it looks like the stock KZ arm, but can take up to a 160 tire I believe. I was going to use them, but decided to stay with a little tire. PM me if you are interested.

Thanks JonnyBravo and EricHa for the info. Kraz1, that bike IS phenominal!

EricHa, PM to ya.

Thanks.

Is a GS swingarm still the ticket if I want the extension, but keep stock tire?
