Single clubfoot swingarm was created by kawsakiman
Ok, I heard somewhere you can modify a clubfoot swingarm to accept bearings so you can use shocks.
A rigid with my back will not work.
Was I wrong or do anyone in this vast knowledge base we call kzrider know if this can be done ?

someday i will be able to afford my kz habit.

Yes it can be done .. Its just not normally done as most clubfoots are run with struts instead of shocks . And you will need to make sure the outriggers on the swingarm clear the frame and anything else in the way of the pivoting arm

Do you have pictures or a point of reference I can go to ?
Or do you know any place I can send mine to to have it done ?

Sorry no pictures as I havent done one in many years. The one I built
was designed for the outrigger clubfoot to pivot and to clear the frame where it could have hit by the rear foot peg mount
. Did you buy a arm you are trying to convert ? Pictures ?
Our 2 go to members here are Les Holt and Blackbanshee531 for this kind of work

I done one yrs ago, it's work and can get a little costly, it basically takes 1 and a 1/2 bearing kits, 2 kits come in around $220 or so plus you have labor, Could probably build a non clubfoot arm new for less money.
