    cal-fab swingarm stickers being made

    hello,

    looking for advice on what kind of finish to apply to my cal-fab swingarm. it is partially polished right now. should i just polish the rest? do you think it is wrong to have such a rare part powder coated?

    another thing is that the swingarm reads SIERRO USA on one side. it is hard to read because it is polished down. but i can still make it out. the swingarm looks just like the other cal-fabs that have been posted.

    why does the cal-fab swingarm not have the extra bolt hole on the shifter side (left side when you are sitting on it)? what was that extra hole for? didnt the bearing carrier have two bolt holes on that side?

    thanks for the help. looking for a headlight bracket that holds the headlight lamp. recently broke it. also would like a nice picture of the cal-fab decals, as i would like to have them reproduced.

    thanks,
    mark

    I think Cal-Fab skipped on the extra bearing carrier hole on the left side. I've looked at allot of pics in old mags and it appears that way on all. As for finish, I would polish it and put the reprint decals on it. The only color I would paint is stock swingarm finish. The decals are definitely a must. If 200xbasket can't hook you up with a good picture I might can find a good picture in an old mag and scan it and you'll at least have the correct letter shape. Color should be pink for the KXTs. I've got a pic of one on a 250R where the decal is a patriotic red white and blue. Its cool too.

    I'll look for some adds.

    thanks jeb. chris said he would hook me up with a picture. but he has not gotten around to it yet.

    i will polish it. i think it would be wrong to coat it. it wouldnt be easy to remove the coating afterwards then.

    Anyone else interested in these Cal-Fab Stickers for your swingarms? I am getting them reproduced. Dont know price or when they will be complete yet.

    Could someone measure the exact size and post it?

    Thanks,

    These stickers would look good on the stock swingarm also.

    here is a pic of mine if it helps. For some reason the sticker came out looking orange, but it's more of a pinkish color, I've got a far better digital camera now so I can take another pic if you'd like.
