    Need a swing arm built for 86 t3

    I am looking for someone who can properly build a swinger out of steel for 86 t3 that will use 400ex axel and brakes. Any recommendation would be appreciated.

    I'm glad to hear he will still make them. Please post a review here if you get one. The only down side I saw was the swingarm will be heavy. But how heavy?

    I will let you all know how it works out. All the problems I have had with t3 carriers is that the ears that secure it to the swingarm bend and crack. Now they are no longer available and without somebody willing to make a few we are forced to do these very expensive upgrades. That swingarm is gonna cost near 600.00. Figure another 350.00 for the 400ex parts. In that particular spot I wish kaw would have forgot about the weight and used thicker/heavier material. IMHO these are the little things that hurt Kawasaki for a very long time in the atv market.

    Have you checked into Polaris axle carriers.The early Polarises used Kawasaki styl swingarms and axle setup. I think the rims and tires aswell. I dont know how many years they went.Its worth a try.Check Bikebandit.Start with 86 Three wheeler I think it was called a Scrambler.

    dont know if i missed it but why steel and not chromoly? I had metel tech make both mine for me for my 83/84R and 86R, relatively reasonable on pricing too. not dogging HRE, just hrowing out there that we should be able to find cheaper solutions for issues like these! So your spending almost 1000$ on a new swinger with hardware basically?

    I'll take whatever I can get, that's the life of tecate owners. Yes I can't find any other way as far as price goes.
    It's gonna hurt for sure.

    Good news. Spoke with mike at hre. He is thrilled to be making our parts and plans on continuing
    To make them. I'm all lined up with my swing arm. I'm gonna start a new thread on carriers. It looks good! Also, he told me that the economy has hurt the quad market but his trike parts continue to soar. He is a asset, but we gotta support him fellas.
