Returning Visitors
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.
Swing arm upgrade for the GS 550???
- Thread starter tkent02

Not heard of any bolt-on...
Maybe...
The width in front is the same as the 550, it fits the frame perfectly. The pivot shaft diameter is a little bigger, no problem there. The brake stay is on the top, not the bottom, no big deal to fix that. It's longer, it locates the wheel almost two inches farther back. Maybe someone talented could shorten it, that's over my head. The hardest to fix is that it's wider at the wheel, about an inch. Spacers for the axle would be fine, but that leaves the shock mounts an inch too wide to match the upper mounts on the frame...
So yeah, maybe.
On the width I would think you could use a jack on each side to bring it in to line..... You would probably need to build a bit of a jig to make sure that you moved each side evenly.
I would think it's also very simple job to cut the top mounts off and space them out from the frame to match. Welding necessary but easy job....
Pioneer work?
It seems like in a case like this, you just have to buy the parts, hold them up and see if they fit. :-k
Myself, I would only look at the 600cc bikes for possible swing arms.

I just need someone good to do the cutting and the welding, it has to be accurate and it has to be strong. Any professional aluminum cutters/welders on the forum?
