Wolf1999 Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Hey everyone I'm trying to find out if anyone makes a stretched swingarm got the bird. I know I can have mine cut and stretched but I really don't wanna duo that. Any one knows of a aftermarket arm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superhawk996 Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 What's your reason for wanting one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf1999 Posted January 20, 2016 Author Share Posted January 20, 2016 Until my race bike is finished the bird will see time on the track. Mainly I just like the look of a stretched bike. I see a lot of people doing the zxxx conversion what do you think about that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superhawk996 Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 I've never ridden one or done one so no good advice. I've never heard of an aftermarket bolt on arm, pretty sure it would have to be custom but others here know more about that so wait for them to chime in as that's out of my league.

blackhawkxx Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Check out the drag bike in the for sale section. I'm sure that he or a couple of others here would be able to help answer your question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furbird Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 I don't know of any supplier that makes a complete, aftermarket swingarm for a bird. There used to be a couple of places that made bolt-in swingarm extensions, but I've lost the links over the years. You can find one every once in a blue moon on ebay, but they are pretty rare. I personally don't care for the look, and if you don't have the upgrades to necessitate the arm, you're just perpetrating as a racer. I can't even begin to list the number of fakers I've put on the trailer running my bird at stock length. You kill 'em on the tree and keep the nose less than 8 inches off the ground and it takes BIG power to catch you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockmeupto125 Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 There's two on ebay at present. One appears to have been a "cut and stretch" but I didn't examine it closely. Myself or others here could furnish a stock swingarm if you wanted one to play with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furbird Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 http://www.ebay.com/itm/99-HONDA-CBR-1100-XX-BLACK-BIRD-CBR1100-SWING-ARM-OEM-52200-MAT-200-/262141538738?hash=item3d08da71b2:g:mKoAAOSweuxWRPJs&vxp=mtrThat's not a bad price on the swingarm, IMO, and the free extensions make it a no brainer if you were going to do the conversion.

jon haney Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Sounded to me like you wanted something reversible. Bolt-on extensions should be available from Roaring Toyz, but may not be listed on their site anymore. Give them a call, and I'll bet they will make you a set. Too bad you can't wait a few months. My Drag Bird is likely to be going back on the street, and I'll have an extended arm, strut, and wheelie bars to sell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XXitanium Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Guy I know has a Gixxer set up. If I follow what he said correctly, they don't corner as well when they're stretched for street ability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
