First post guys really nice site!

I really want my swingarm on my 350X extended but I cant find one anywhere. I was wondering how much it would cost to have someone do it? Does anyone know of any places that can do them? Or can anyone here do them and have experience, If so how much would you charge me? Reply and let me know a price. I want to add about 4 inches.

Also would all of my original parts still fit properly? I know I will need a chain but will I need anything else?

you will need a longer brake line also. i think your best bet would be to watch ebay for one. there are some here and there. i have an extended swingarm i have yet to put on. i got it from ebay. expect to pay around 100 for an extended homemade job and 250 for a company made one.

welcome to the site :trikesown :trikesown

there is some people on her that have made there own extended swingers that look really nice. also you can go to a mechine shop or something and have them do it. also you will need a longer chain if you extend the swinger. and the brake line as mentioned.

I had my 350x done. I went to a metal shop bought the metal and the weid shop welded it together for $65.00.I had it extended 5 inches to keep the front end down on the steep hills. I think it handles better too.

i have a friend that works at my local dealer he will be doing mine very soon.

he did the jug on my 250r,when i got it the head bolt had been stripped and the kid that had it tried to use a "thread repair kit".Well to make it short he used a hand drill and fu@#ed all the holes up!

my buddy filled the holes machined it down and re installed new studs.
it looked and worked great!!!

also he made a stainless steel exhaust system including muffler
from scratch an his chevy 4x4.

OH did i mention he built completely from scratch a mini dune buggy.

i have complete confidence that it will look good and preform just as well.
