And a lil paint. Its not perfect but for about 30 dollars worth of material beats paying 250 for the ebay ones. Ill do the other side and relocate the shock mount shortley
DIY Swingarm Extension

looking good what would you be looking to get out of it but the rear stock shock will not fit on this though correct?
Ill sell it for 100 . If you did want it I could make a shock mount in what ever location you want.
Its the angle and not having the other side wrap makes it look like that Ill try to wrap the other side and fab up a shock mount tommorow
100 bux is a fair price, I have extended a few for some members here and thats what i charged for non molly stockers.
nice job on it, i wouldnt really say its a DIY lol...70% of the members heres prolly dont have access to the tools and materials needed for this but thanx for the thread dude..it helps, also did u have it set in a jig or clamped down while u welded it, i found that out the hard way when i fixed my swingarm shop ebay swinger
Threw experiance you can extend them without a jig and get them pretty damn straight by useing good clamps and a good solid bench and useing some good old common sence and not going crazy with the heat.
Just clamps if I were to build alot of swingarms I would make a jig. I measure alot and like mmajay said easy on the heat . I built a round tube for my raptor with clamps and it turned out pretty good. I will do a ladder swingarm in the future.
Awesome thread! I have all the materials to do this and I'm really tempted but I'm not 100% confident in my skills to pull this off & if I screw it up or my swingarm breaks once I'm test riding it then I'm really screwed cause that's an expensive mistake since I will have to replace with a new swingarm. It might be worth an extra $70 and have one of you guys do it for me... But thanks for the info
Nice job bud iam seriously thinking ahout hacking up my old extra swing arm now. Thanks for making this thread!
Looking good,Instead of 1 shock mount,try using 2 plates with multiple holes for adjustable mounts and the ability to use longer or shorter shocks wit adjustability for terrain.
I did this with the one i extended and love it.I raise it up for mountain riding and lower it for the flat lands.
I went to photobucket to find a pick for reference but they changed their format and i can't figure how to copy n paste just yet lol.But i posted it here somewhere once.
