    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Anybody know how to get an extended swingarm for a 1980 gs750e? I have seen pictures of a couple of gs's with them & I like. Do they have to be custom made or what are my options? Hope this is the correct forum. Sorry if it is'nt! :eek: :o
 
I know a local guy that has one I think.. PM me if you want me drop by and find out what he wants for it.

I think he's got a round steel one about +6" and another older chrome one.
 
I am currently fitting an 1100 swinger on my 750.
It's about three inches longer and weighs less than half that of the stock unit.
All you need is to drill the holes in the frame out to accept a larger diameter bolt and either come up with some spacers for the rear wheel or take the opportunity to upgrade to a wider wheel. I'm told by the very knowledgeable guy I got the swinger from that you can go as big as a 180 tire this way. I figure if need a longer swingarm, a bigger tire won't hurt either right?
 
Im working on a '80 GS750 that I plan to stretch the swingarm. Its just a matter of cutting in the right place (just behind the swingarm pivot) and using an internal sleeve. Drill a few plug holes for welding and leave roughly 1/8" gap between the pieces to allow for a better penatration of the welds. As soon as I get a new cash flow in, Ill start on that and post up.
 
Thanks guys, really looking forward to extending that swingarm. Dardoonk, I sent you a pm,preesh. I will take all suggestions into consideration,at least now I have an idea.Looking forward to seeing progress on the ones that are "in progress".
