Have a 1979 GS55E and was thinking of extending swingarm 2 inches, the question i have is can these be purchased or is there a build that someone has modified their swing arm that would show the proper way to do this on their own.

Get a swingarm from a 1100E, it's two inches longer. -
My question is: Why would a 55cc bike (GS55E) need a longer swingarm?Originally posted by HighCountry View Post

Cafe racers are supposed to turn and handle in a sprightly fashion. An extended swingarm will have the opposite effect.Ed
To measure is to know.
