you can get champion +2's on ebay. not sure if the are repro's or not, but they are nice looking tubular swinger. aside from that they are hard to find, you could always get the stocker lengthened.

The Lonestar sounds like his best option... The only other way to really get exactly what you want is to build it..

the champion swingarms are nos,they are not reproduction ones.if you are able to get lonestar or any other manufacturer to make swingarms for the tecate,my guess is you will be looking at $700 each.the champion swingarms are a bargain if you ask me.

But a +2" shouldn't really be considered extended... Thats how they should have been stock... And for that an '86 swinger is probably just as good...

I bought a NOS Champion off ebay and really like it. They have some odd bronze bushings in them that I couldn't press out so I adapted a set from x.system, meaning I put them on a lathe and stepped them down to work. No problems once I did that. It seems like a good, strong swingarm. Chris

Thats what I have and it weighs a TON... even stock its heavy...

Us first gen t-3 owners need a nice high quality fabricated arm to be built. If we could get a company to do this it would be great. A nice oval chrome molly steel arm would keep weight down, and look fantastic. Length is always an issue. But on a First gen tecate a +4 would strike a nice balance between play, straight line, and looks i believe. Lonestar? Interesting, whose gonna follow up on this one? Would be very sweet indeed!

I also bought one of those NOS Champions. They are a pretty cool swinger. I wish it was +4 or +6, but you get what's available I guess. Aftermarket 84-85 T3 swingers are few and far between.
