But if you must do, buy another swong arm, take it to a welder and thell them to cut one up to extend the other.

So begs the question .......why'd you sell your rare 87 ?

Probably the best thing to do would be to contact a custom fabricator???

The question has to be asked .... WHY???

Are you packing some serious horsepower and running down a dragstrip? Supercharger? Turbo? Nitrous?

If not, then don't waste your money! It looks crap on a streetbike and will kill any cornering ability.

I think all you nasty boys chased him away..............

Extended swingarm on an 87 reminds me of the old movie
"dumb and dumber"

It seems though that I'm not alone in my opinion ........
I think I'm with Doug on this one........(joke)

Jeez, you lot are a tough crowd

...I'm interested to know the reason why, but couldn't give a toss what anybody else chooses to do with their bike. Mine's always going to be prettier...being a gen 3 and all.

Yeah, I know what you mean about not replying to their own posts...even if it's to say "f#ck off you lot, it's my bike and I'll do what I want to it!" Maybe he will still get back to us.

Oh yeah, "as long as we all tried from the bottom of our hearts to help.." always mate, always

I'll just keep having to try and get a bite with my gen 3 quips
