I appreciate it.

ok, not sure exactly what you are looking for. I will start with these and I may have more useful info if you need it.

This picture shows a genuine Dresda and a Carpy replica, the genuine is the narrower of the 2. The Carpy is wide enough to accomodate an F model rear disc set up. I used it with a stock drum rear with spacers to take up the slack.

also notice that the genuine Dresda uses tapered roller bearings, not bronze bushings.

I found one that has an offset in the pivot area.

I wonder if perhaps that was done for more clearance for the drum brake bell crank thingy that the pedal attaches to. There is really no clearance for the stock parts. I did somehow get it to work, but it was a real bear.

I dont know. Maybe. If i were familiar with the dresda swingarms i could make a better judgement call.

Talking about Dresda type.
I found one 6 years ago. It is narrower than a standard CB750 swingarm so I had problem to use it on my K6.
Anyone that know if this can be made for another bike or just bent? I bought tapered roller bearings for it, same sizes as for a Dresda but cheaper than the Timken bearings.

It is 20 mm narrower where the wheel is than a K2-K6 swing arm I have compared to. I'm still curious what it will fit. The brackets for chain guard match CB750 chain guard. It fits the CB750 K6 frame too. I had it on, but the wheel did not align when 20 mm was missing

Here you go, $200.00 shipped 48 states works, what you think and which one is it, was on a 750K.

I’ll take the arm Billy.

Bill, you got axle adjusters for that, I will take it. That might be Curtis, looks like bushings instead of tapered rollers and tiged? instead of bronze welded.

T1m, I thought I had dibs, if it was up to me, you could have it, I already got a dresda...really looking for f bike arm anyway.

T1m32sh1n3 · « **Reply #15 on:** February 21, 2018, 11:49:05 AM »

You guys go ahead. Ill track one down

Bill/BentON Racing · « **Reply #16 on:** February 21, 2018, 02:22:56 PM »

No axle adjusters, just had the arm.

seanbarney41 · « **Reply #17 on:** February 21, 2018, 03:23:51 PM »

I guess I will let George have it since he is probably more capable of fabbing axle adjusters.

gschuld · « **Reply #18 on:** February 21, 2018, 03:44:33 PM »

You saw my PM Seanbarney41?

FWIW, this appears to be a genuine NOS Dresda 750 arm. And it’s available😉

I agree, hence the PM to Sean.😉

George, ive seen that swingarm. Looks like theres a good amount of offset on the right hand side of the pivot.

JoeCooley · « **Reply #22 on:** February 21, 2018, 09:17:10 PM »

Hey Bill if no one else gets it, I'll get that Curtis Dresda arm off you.

seanbarney41 · « **Reply #23 on:** February 22, 2018, 12:44:10 AM »

Lots of action here lol. I am gonna pass Bill, due to lack of axel adjusters.

Yes sir, George, I did read your pm. Apologies for not replying, I just been working and sleeping too.

That eBay link didn't work for me. Guessing that wild offset is what t1m started the thread about in the first place.

T1m32sh1n3 · « **Reply #24 on:** February 22, 2018, 03:47:42 AM »

That is the exact swingarm i started the thread over. Thread came full circle i guess.
