    1985 honda 250r extended swing arm?

    Where can I get my swing arm extended for a good price and whats required to do it?, I know brake lines must be extended but is there anything else? Any advice is helpful.

    Honestly, unless you find an old school extended swingarm for the '85 (and it will be spendy if you find one I'm sure) your best bet is to convert to the '86 style swingarm. The '86 swingarm will mount right up, but you would need to use the '86 style carrier, brake caliper mount, brake stay, and axle.

    It's probably 6 of one and half dozen of the other as far as expense, but 86 style swingarms are still readily available. 85's are not.

    Other option is to have your OEM 85 swingarm extended. That would be your cheapest option by far.

    How far are you looking to stretch it?
    Trikes:
    '85 ATC 350R
    '85 ATC 250R
    '86 ATC 350X
    '85 ATC 350X
    '84 ATC 200ES Big Red
    '84 ATC 125M
    '85 ATC 110
    '85 ATC 70/110

    Depending how long of a arm you are looking for I maybe game for a trade. My bike is set up. Not sure of the length though but I know it's longer than 6" extended

    Stock swing arm and parts. My swing arm is long. I think it's a drag arm. Not sure how it would do in the dunes
