I remember on one of the forums there was a guy making calfab replica swingarms for the 250r, anyone on here remember seeing that? Not sure if it was this forum or the trx250r forum? Sure would like to get one made

There is a shop in CA, Motogpwerks, that took over the CALFAB name and makes aluminum swingers for motorcycles. People have approached him before but they were wanting Tecate swingers. If you have an example to work from and enough orders, you might convince him to make them. He sells the motorcycle swingers on ebay and the workmanship appears top-notch.

I’m sure if we can get a group order, they will make them. Are you looking for the ATC250R ‘85-‘86?
I contacted Motogpwerks several years ago and he didn't seem interested at all in touching any three wheeler swingarm. I offered the whole group buy thing and had several guys interested in buying 86-87 Tecate swingarms, but he pretty much just stopped responding to me. He did quote a price around $750 which is a steal in my opnion.
Maybe this go around would be different? I would love to have a new Calfab for my 250r.

I tried calling Motogpwerks also and even offered sending one of my Calfabs in to duplicate the design and he wanted nothing to do with it.

The reason they don't want to build them is they know they don't last.

Ask if they would make one for the trx 250r.

Ask if they would make one for the trx 250r.Yeah, then trick him, and put it on a ATC 250R. That’s just crazy enough to work! :naughty:

Hre guys...heis finishing a tecate +7 right now. I'm there all the time working on stuff. Repos of anything. Www.hreatv.com....he's about one of few shops that will build trike stuff so bark up his tree. After all calfab is just aluminum and a name. I'm pretty sure blueline graphics makes the repo stickers sells on eBay lives by me and knows hre plus is a member on here too. Aka blue27

Why does everyone keep asking me? If you want it he builds it. Www.hreatv.com email him tell him what you want sent the money get the part.

Www.hreatv.com email him tell him what you want sent the money get the part.Because you are the official spokesperson of HRE, and if he doesn't do aluminum swingarms it's 100 percent irrelevant to this conversation. If you want to throw HRE into every conversation on here, at least know what they can and can't produce.
It's kind of a waste of everyone's time if he doesn't build aluminum swingarms.

He has build everything I've wanted. We just built me reinforcement aluminum rings for my kfx700 front rims other day. If he don't have the swinger send one in. He will build I know. If you need 130% confirmation I'm over there Tuesday again.

I don't like wasting a guys time if it's something he doesn't mess with.

We didn't find any calfabs in the swinger pile. He will make. Needs dimensions or send one in to reproduce. We talking triz, tecate, 200x or 250r?
Email him, don't call cuz he is a one man show so phone calls you don't hear when using power tools.
Email for price. Don't ask me i don't make prices.

Get some.
This was the LSR HRE modified for me and the new + 4.3 swinger he build for me few months ago. His quality is better then LSR...plug was lighter and stronger.

I second that. Tell him he'll probably sell quite a few if it's quality reproduction.
