Extending a swing arm


Recommended Posts

How much extra do people put into their swim arm? Bike is 750gsxr, I do plan to use it on the road and strip. 
 

I was planning on jigging it and then infilling with 80x40mm structural aluminium 6082. 
 

im pretty sure the wheel end piece is “spigotted” do people spigot the other end to join it into existing box? 

I’ll be cutting on the red lines and using a new piece to extend it. 
 

Bike will be around the 200hp mark

Virtually no one does it that way! If you do, you are married to the minimum 3" over length. The more usual way iscut the adjuster off and make a new over length one, spigotted into the extg. box section - other advantage only one weld!

Hopefully this is better!
