650 swing arm - where can I get one? was created by ratmeister
Hi all, my swing arm on the 1977 650 is a bit twisted and I am looking to replace it with a better one, and one that can possibly fit a fatter tire. Any ideas?

I have heard mention about aluminum swing arms, but are there any that are a direct fit, or will there be some mill and weld work required? I also read I can put a kz1000 swing arm on the bike, but that would require milling as well.

My tool shop consists of a sawzall, a drill, and some smaller tools (plenty for wook, only a few for metal). What can I do on my own, or is there someone out there that has already made something like what I want that I can buy?

Thanks in advance...pics coming soon on the new project...

If you want a good stock one I have one left over from my conversion, PM me if interested. As to a wider rear tire, you would probly want a newer rim as well as a wider swingarm, the gs1000 arm is a popular swap for a kz, but are a bit hard to find.
