Wireman, I am not disputing your suggestion, I am just wondering why? Is it a straight swap without fabrication needed?wireman wrote: 82-83 gs1100 suzuki

Factory modified's are nice, the suzuki GS swingarm is nice also. Easy swap.
Do you have any machinist, welder friends?
Build one from old parts.
I like this stock set up. this is a 150x60x16 hog wheel. could take a 160.

Went thru 25 of these in 40 yrs.
I SOLD OUT! THE KAW BARN IS EMPTY.
More room for The Old Girl, Harley 75 FLH Electra Glide,
Old faithful! Points ign. Bendix Orig. carb.
Starts everytime!

It might be but at $450 for a 2"-4" over chrome moly arm with 13" brake arm with heim joints at both ends, tabs for chain guard, new bearing kit and hollow 4130 hollow axle to fit your wheel combo is as good as price as your going to get. Price is going to go up when the new shop and web site gets up.
Same arm only with shock mounts for twin shocks.
