If you mean GS swingarm, the last time I checked, those parts were still available at your neighborhood Suzuki dealer.

What good is a swing arm without the hardware? Where did you get it?

Your Kaw pivot frame bolt will fit it they are 16mm. you do need a spacer on each side. 2 cheap hardware store 5/8" flat washers will work or machine 2 spacers about .160" - .180".
You will need a rear axle a little longer than the Kaw. The adjusters and 2 small tab piece will work.
Plus you need Suzi rear shocks with a clevis end on them at bottom.
Search ebay for those.
I showed you this pic before.
Good luck.

I was watching one on eBay. When I started to make my own I mentioned it here. It was sold. It came complete. I should have kept my mouth shut. I have lots of others on my watch list but they don't have the hardware and won't buy them. I asked one seller but he wanted too much for it. The seller I got my arm from sold it to me complete. I wouldn't buy one any other way and won't deal with the ones that don't. :angry:
