hey, i am looking at buying an extended swingarm i found on the internet, except the owner is unsure of how far it is extended. He is going to measure it from the pivot point to the end of the axle slots. Does anyone know the stock length so i have something to compare the length of the extended swingarm to.?



THis is a picture of the swingarm. If it is not long enough, it looks as if it wouldnt be too hard to extend further. I was kinda hoping for a wider swingarm, would widening it be a big pain in the a$$

That looks just like the D+G that is on my bike. I have a GPZ wheel in it. I have mine in the front hole and it was roughly stock. Sooo, maybe 3-5 inches over in the last hole. Not sure on teh widening of it though, I am going monshock to solve that one.

I believe the length is approximately 20" measured from center of front pivot bolt to center of rear axle towards rear of axle slot. I have a swingarm like that one and the axle slots on mine is stock length on the center hole and about 2" over in back and 2" under in front. Have him measure from center of pivot bolt to center of each adjusting hole and compare to 20" for a stock arm.
