extended swingarms?

I am beginning to assemble parts for my dragbike chassis. I planned on buying the kosman frame brace kit, but i hear they are hard to get ahold of. I was wondering if anyone had a good site that sells boxed extended swingarms for the old kz's, all i can find is new sportbike stuff.

Also, i have a front end from a 95 rm250 laying around i am thinking about using. Anybody ever try a frontend like this. I know i am going to have trouble shortening it and what not but it should work right?

Ya, i hear the kosman kits are a pain to come by. The rm 250 front end should work, i heard the old school racers used to run kz 400 front ends on the 900 and 1000 drag bikes. Here is a link i found, 300.00 for a chromoly boxed arm

I contacted them and they no longer do swingarms. Any one else know of any places i can get one? plummen? timebomb? anyone?

Sorry bout that jordan

no problem, the arms are still advertised on the site, but i called him and he said he doesnt have time to do them anymore

Redline Cycles carries some but there not as cheap as the other place. Probably wouldn't hurt to give them a try.

Later, Doug

I think D&G still makes swingarms. I think that's where mine came from. www.dgchassis.com

i prefer the aluminum arms myself.pick a suzuki swingarm you like,theyre a dime a dozen.

That would work, but i am kinda lookin for something in the area of 4-6 inches over stock. Its for my dragbike and i dont know if the gs arms will work out for what i want.

jordan, trac dynamics or dg chassis they both do awesome work. they are abit pricey but they will come complete and ready to bolt in look for a hayabusa rear wheel brake rotor and caliper ass. with sprocket carrier as well they go on e-bay pretty cheap tell who ever does your swingarm what you are using and what frame it is going into and they will build to fit,a friend of mine ordered a 6inch over arm from trac and it was a perfect fit. they do every thing wheel spacers axle everything.

I have a Kosman frame brace kit for your Kawi which i can let go for $ 150 plus shipping if you are interested. As for the swingarm - you might try McIntosh at

They do great work and are fairly reasonable price wise. They did mine for me - see picture
