I have what may be a west coast swing arm for a second Gen tecate. Feels very heavy. Not aluminum. And I thought it was extended. So I wanna measure compared to stock and my two '86 tecates r not here.

Let me know. Thanks.

About 18" between the center of the pivot bolt and the center of the axle in the middle of the adjustment. So obviously that figure could change but should give you an idea.

It looks to be a genuswine 84 - 85 Westcoast Tecate swingarm. I have never seen nor heard of a copy/replica. Photos courtesy of Jeb.

1 = tri z

2 = 84 - 85 T3

3 = 86 - 87 T3

hello;

what i meant is that it is absolutely, positively an 84 - 85 t3 arm and not an 86 - 87 and that it looks to be a genuswine Westcoast brand.

Does anyone know the exact length of the "westcoast" decal for the first gen Tecate swingarms?

I mean I can kinda guess from that photo above based on where it starts and stops on the swing arm.

But would like the exact. Let me know. Thanks.
