we will have to wait for the true Tecate gurus to jump in? I have an aluminum swinger for my Tri-Z.And I know it was questioned if it was a CAl-Fab or White Brothers.I am not sure if it was ever correctly found out.I dont care who made it.Its a sweet swinger!!!

Just my 2 cents but back in the day White Bros didn't make their own parts. They sold and revalved other peoples parts. They mainly sold Ohlins and White Power forks and shocks. I would think this is like the Klemm Research/Power Pros pipes and silencers. I would say this is either a Cal Fab or another manufacturer who made aluminum swingers. My money is on CalFab. I would say it would be worth the money they are asking if not for the chain damage to the swinger.

I was about to call them and inquire but they have sold their motorcycle and atv rights to Vance&Hines of Suzuki GSXR fame.

It was a Calfab arm. Whitbros never made swingarms for the tecate. Somebody at one time put a whitebros sticker on it so the seller just assumed it was.

True that White Bros never made them, but sold them with their name on them. Cal-Fab was the true manufacturer. I have a few ads from Dirt Wheels that state this with pics included. Cal-Fab designed and built arms are truly one of a kind....... But westcoast arms still retain that old school cool and are easier to bring back to their original glory due to their sandblast and re-powder ability. It's nearly impossible to duplicate that new raw aluminnum look of the cal-fabs, and that's what makes them awesome!
