is this a calfab swingarm?
It does say White Brothers on it so I would assume thats the brand name!!![]()
Hehehe
It looks alittle short....I wonder if its stock length or maybe a -2 or something.
86-87 Tecate ROCK!
Ride fast...........brake late............and Slide the rear!
I know it does say White Brothers on it but first time i hear this brand for tecate swingarms
and its very similar to the calfab
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.

RIP Trace.. Godspeed.
Anyone here grab it???
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.
Remove all the warning label and let nature take its course
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!
someone buy it with buy it now although in the action there wasn't a buy it now action from the begining! 550 usd sold!
