    Looks like a 1100e stock swingarm.

          Tubular steel was the gs1000. Basically same dimensions.

            What Nic said....Not sure how familiar you are with the bike, but the wheel is not original either.

              The wheel is 06 GSXR, as is the Front end of the bike. I didnt know if they swapped out the swing arm when they did the wheel

                What bike do you have? I would guess that they may have had to change the swing arm to add the upgraded wheel and fatter tire.

                  And it looks like you have been enjoying those fatter tires.

                    It looks to be an 1100 swingarm. If so, I do know that a 150 size tire is a wide as will fit that arm though. A 150 tire will leave about 1/4" clearance on each side to the swingarm. If the tire is bigger than that, it is not an 1100 arm.

                        170 on my 1000 with a 1100 swingarm.

                        1983 Gs1100ESD, rebuild finished! Body paintwork happening winter 2017

                        I would rather trust my bike to a technician that reads the service manual than some backyardigan that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix things.

                              Does anyone know if they make stretches for this swing-arm?
