Anyone here have experience with PMC, Sculpture or Overracing swingarms from Webike Japan?
Looking to do a conversion to accommodate a 160-180 tire.

I suggest looking into the modern CALFAB swingarms made by MotoGPWerks . They are made in the US and are comparable in quality and price to those Japanese units.
CALFAB was the big name in aluminum swingarms in the early 80s. MotoGPwerks bought the rights to the name and is making excellent reproductions (I have one). The first two links below are hybrids. Period style reproductions with trick modern adjusters. The third link is a reproduction of a 1982 KZ1000 S1 swingarm (factory race bike, only about 30 made in total in '82).
