Was it you that won it? I have been around this stuff for years and have never seen an ad in a magazine or anything for one of those. Definately looks like a extremely rare piece to me.

I wish I would have seen it... It would have been mine. Nice find for who ever got it.

Holy crap, look at that! A casted aluminum swingarm! I've never seen an Arm like that before in my years of look at this stuff. Very interesting...

he he he he he

The way its shaped it looks to be a long travel arm too, maybe designed for the Baja? Or maybe to lowwer it for flat track? Way ahead of its time... And no its not mine if i had the cash it would have been..

Nice vintage piece but I don't know how much I would trust a cast swingarm. It may be rare for a reason. It looks pretty grainy and would probably break pretty easily.

Just to give you guys an update on this swinger and the story behind it. I now have it on my 82R, and it is very sweet. It's actually a +3. Very stable and strong. Along with the Works shock I have on it makes an unbelievable upgrade to the first gen R. Here's the story behind it: It's a Terry Cable product. I talked to Mr Cable himself. He said that back in the day alot of local riders/racers were beating him up to make a good extended swinger for the 1st gen that was stable and strong. He said he came up with this design and sent the specs to a machine shop that made helicopter parts. They made a run of about 65-75 as he recalls. Well under 100. I've been searching and haven't seen any other ones like this. Anywy, I thought you might be interested in the story behind it.
