http://www.swingarm.com/shop.aspx That's one way to clear the books and take 5 years to build a swingarm.

Who makes arms for CB750's? Metmachex does not list them.

Yes.... you are right there Simon. Sam has a friend with a shop right across the street from the JMC shop. His feedback was interesting. If I remember correctly nobody arrived until late in the day and there were only a couple of fella's there at that.
I have one of their swingarms for my CB. God....what an ordeal!

I was unable to find application list on the Mcintosh site. Is it there and I'm blind or have they not published one on the internet?

LEINO, I would imagine they would make a swingarm for any motorcycle. Looking at the PROSTREET pictures they seem to be for any of the earlier style types, honda, kawi, suzuki etc. Built to your specs.

dragracer · « **Reply #13 on:** January 22, 2012, 06:13:51 PM »

Mc Intosh can build an arm for almost any bike. They have done many for the old GS 1100 and 1150 chassis as well as some old KZ set ups. Give them a call. They can hook you up with frame mods for mono shocks also. I don't know if they have specicially done one for the SOHC bikes but i'm certain they can figure it all out. And no, they are not cheap.

Prostreet arm, 1" or 1½" over stock, would be ideal for my bike

Now that with some shorter rear shocks and the shortened front forks... oh yeah, more compression and cam, new exhaust and wait a minute, did I win the lottery?!

Thanks Dakota, I had an idea that it was a multi lingual country. I think flemish Dutch and German are the main ones, correct me if I'm wrong.

1300$ for my 12 over zx-12 arm but it's sweet

Gonzowerke · « **Reply #22 on:** January 26, 2012, 09:07:20 PM »

Try Google translate on the Krueger site, it works just fine. translate.google.com/

I like this number, at 528 Euros, or $694 USD. That's for the chrome one, non-chrome on request, 40Euro/$52 USD discount for bare, +30 Euro/$40 USD for powder coated. Funny how powder is more expensive than chrome.

This one is nice too, and cheaper at 448 euros/$588 for the K/F's

This one is listed as for a Seeley Honda.

Then there's this one,

Installed on a 500.

I think some of my bucks are headed to Germany when I start on my F2 build!

Could you be more specific on this, which gpz?

God this brings back bad memories.

I know I have the last CB swingarm they ever made.
