    lETS SEE PICS OF ARTERMARKET EXTENDED SWINGARMS

    I would like to see some aftermarket swingarms and the Brand Name. I really dont know anything about Three Wheeler Aftermarket Swingarms. It seems to be the most sought after Part for a Sport Trike.
    Im looking for an Aftermarket Extended Swingarm for my Tecate and I think the stock swinger is like 17" so I would like an extra 2". How hard is it to find a swingarm for a 84-85 Tecate?

    these are pretty shatty edited pictures put these are a few pics of my PK swinger i got off ebay for $180. I really haven't done a hardcore measurement on it but it's either 2.5" or 3" over stock. it uses all the factory suspension linkages for the 83-84 250R's

    Here is a PK(orange/red) and a Westcoast(white). The PK is a +1 and the Westcoast is a +2. I have the PK powdercoated to the factory color and put it on my flat track 250r now.

    This evening I'll post up some pics of 84/85 KXT WestCoast swingarms I used to have and the WestCoast on my Tri-Z.

    You might want to look into an 86 KXT swingarm. They are aluminum and I think they are an inch or two longer than stock 84/85 swingarms. I'm pretty sure the 84/85 carrier will bolt in. If not you can run the whole carrier, axle and hub assembly. remember you can't use 84/85 wheel hubs on an 86 axle, but 86 and 85 hubs are the same bolt circle so you can get there. And probably get there faster and cheaper than hunting up an aftermarket swingarm. I know there's a couple guys on here that have done this.

    there is my 86/87 t3 calfab, I have no clue how much extended it is, I haven't measured it yet.





    on this R I have a stock length calfab, I don't have any good pics of it yet, I'll take a better pic of the backend of it later on, of course there is one on ebay right now, but mine is made alot different than it is, I suppose because it's an 85, and mine is for a 86 they changed the shock mount design some, and strengthened it alot.

    As to your question, tons of companies made swingers for trikes back in the day, westcoast, calfab, p-k, champion, trinity, durablue, dico, dg, franks, white brothers, those are a few I can think of right off the top of my head. Out of those, the westcoasts and franks seem to be alot more common for tecates. I know someone selling a westcoast for a 84/85 t3 in fact.

    LOL jeb, hey I wasn meaning to tell you, on your Triz you said you wanted a 10" front rim setup. What is the bolt pattern on the 86 triz front rim? The honda pattern is 4 on 170, if the 86 triz is that size or smaller, you could have douglas custom make a rim. That's what I'm going to have to do for mine because the mitchell I've got on there now is bent slightly. If they are custom drilling it, might as well be whatever pattern you need. I think they charge about 50 bucks, then a 30 dollar custom fee.

    Hey Pumper, I took this pic right after that other one. It shows how beefy that calfab is. Also shows a bunch of other goodies on your bike.





    I have more pics of it, I took like 10 or so when I first saw it, and it was clean... Problem is I cant find them right now.

    I always liked the way CAL-FAB covered all the air gaps in the swingarms and ran the ribs back from the linkage mounts.

    Pumper, all that 250R needs is my R's screen number plate on it. (which is just like ScottZJ's)!

    Now I'll gladly trade you the number plate for the KXT Cal-Fab!

    I think my Z would be cool mixed in the pics with you guy's race replica Rs.

    Thanks for the tip on the rim. I think though, 85 & 86 Tri-Z front hub bolt circle is somewhat bigger than the Honda's. The key is if the hub will fit in the bell of a 10" rim.

    Does anybody know if Douglas will anodize for you too?

    Haha jeb, I've got a numberplate just ilke scottzjs' it had one little cracked place but it's plastic welded where you can't hardly tell. I like the look of that ufo plate better. The only place I've seen others is in the old race pics in my old mags. But I do think the ones like you and scott have look better than the maiers do.

    Aftermarket Swingers

    Thanks for the info, that 86 Calfab that 86Waterpumper has is cool. I would like to see the top of it to see how its shaped. I also would be interested in knowing how much you friend wants to sell his swinger for. Im looking for 2" extension because it seems thats all I need for where I ride.
    I take it all of these swingarms go for big bucks.

    I have a rare aftermarket ATC 90/110 swingarm. From the best of my knowledga it bolts up to a xr 50. Can we say, "conversion"? I am not sure if this post was for aftermarket Tecate swingers or all aftermarket swingers, but I figured I would post it anyway. Can someone resize the pic for me? Thanks.

    BTW, it is for sale.
