If you look in his other items, he also has a strange (maybe aftermarket?) front rim/hub assembly for tri-z..

Have fun guys!

...

I threw a couple bids on both items, figure'd what the hell, they will look good on the shelf (and even better in 10 years :p )

This should be interesting! The axle would be nice to have too.

I've seen one other hub like that on ebay. I wonder if it's the same one? anyway the hub looks to me like its so you can run 11" rims instead of 12". Also the rim is aftemarket.

When the Heck will one of these shpow up for an 84-85 Tecate. I have been looking for years and have had no luck. All I want is a swinger thats 2" longer than stock. I just cant put junk home made stuff on my Sweet Tecate. And of course I have cashg at the moment, but when one comes up I'll probably be broke. :(

Up till about 2 years ago I had two +2 84/85 west coasts. one was NOS I got when I got my Tri-Z arm and the other was on my 84 when I bought back in the day. I sold both of them and wish I'd kept the NOS one. :cry:

Why is a West Coast swing arm so much better than stock? It does not appear to be all that special.

Lighter, stronger, plus it adds at least 15hp :D

As Jeb mentioned that axle is not a stock Z one either. No taper to it like the stock one. Maybe its a banshee one or something? Or even better yet, extended? Good thing I already have one. :naughty:

Jeb
03-22-2005, 11:27 PM
Yeah Billy, I think the axle is extended. But sadly after I posted that I read that it had been bent and straightened. :(

Auctions like this one make me want to put the westcoast that I got for my 200x project up on ebay! Well maybe I will atleast put it inside now :o .

Is that westcoast swingarm extended? It looks longer than factory.

Thanks Denn

Even a sniper cant beat a SUPER BID on steroids. That's were Snipers faulter you cant rebid. :naughty: It has been said many times, it truly depends on how bad someone wants it and if they have extra money that week or in general. Is it just me or does it feel like this swingarm has been listed for 30 days already. Lets get this one over with.

I put in my snipe for the most I'm willing to pay so if someone else outbids me then so be it. I'm not one of those guys that bids 800x to just barely get ahead.

Yeah, I figured I might as well get some free advertising out of it. :)

Yes, but if you snipe and out bid me (like you did today after I figured this out), it makes me want to stay at 3ww.com even more! It's ironic that your snipe got outsniped 2 secs later though! :D Dang ,org snipers anyway! hahaaha

its getting crazy. I for one, am not a huge fan of extended swingarms. They are neat, and old school, and sure me and my bro have a few really interesting ones, but for the money, I dont think they are worth it. Is it worth $500 to add "bike X- K&N filter, power reeds WESTCOAST SWINGARM!!!!!!!!!!" to your sig?? get a life people!!!

all your bikes are slow holic so you dont need the extra length in the rear to keep the front down lol. i have a +2 westcoast on my Z and wish it was longer. since i got it rebuilt its an animal. especially when i am on the road. i let todd and stevo take it for a ride all it wants to do is stand up. plus i can add K&N filter,+4 LSR axle and WESTCOAST SWINGER to my signiture lol

I wouldn't count that axle as a bonus, that thing is junk and would tell him to keep it to save on shipping. ;)

Does anyone know for sure if this thing is extended? I would like to win the auction but I don't want an extended swinger for my Z. I do alot of woods, trail and track and don't think my Z needs to be any longer.

Thanks Denn

E-mail him and ask him to measure it for you. Are you the guy that won my headlight guard on ebay?

Yeh, I was bidding in the 500's and then realized I'd have to be an idiot to pay that much. You can have one made 10 times better than that with new technology and a 250r style round housing for maybe $100 more. I just let it go. I don't need a 20 year old trophy for $600.
