RIP Sandy Kosman.

While I did not know him I talked with him on the phone a couple of times back in 1994 when I was interested in buying a drag race swing arm. He was a very nice guy and actually talked me out of buying one of his because at that time it was a custom job. He mailed me all the literature he had at the time and I ended up copying one of his road race arms from the pictures he sent.

He split and widened a original 16 inch rear mag wheel off a kz1000 back in the day, He made it six inches wide for a bigger tire, I still have it. Incredible work. RIP.

He was the originator of that technique, he use to sell SUN brand rims that he widened to hold 7" slicks. The best welds I have ever seen!

A extremely smart and talented fabricator.
