    Question regarding the 84-85 kxt250 swingarm

    I've located a very nice swingarm intended for the 84-85 tecates. It appears to be either a stock one that has been extended or an aftermarket, I am not certain. It is in excellent condition, it appears to have a chromoly type finish. Could someone who owns one of these machines post some measurements and a photograph of their swingarm? I would like to know the length, width, and whatever other significant features to look for in a stock arm. I am pretty positive that the one I found is not stock but I would like to ascertain that first. If it turns out to be something nice I will pick it up and offer it for sale since I don't own any Kxt's. It is definately clean, worthy of going on a restored or well maintained bike. Thanks for the assistance.

    I have seen the franks and champion swingers before, it isn't one of those. What I am looking for is measurements of a stock one to compare then go from there. Length,width, etc. Perhaps some close-up shots of the stock unit as well, thank you. Tomorrow I will go back to compare with the one I found.

    The stocker is easy to tell. Its a poor excuse for a swinger with gaps between surfaces and welds that are surrounded by spatter.

    16 1/2 center of pivots to top carrier holes is what the stock one is...

    That has to be the ugly red headed step child of swingarms, IMO.

    I stopped by on my way home from work yesterday and compared to the photo of the stock swinger provided by Blazer1 which I printed out. This swinger did not resemble any swingarm which any of you have posted. I did photograph it with my telephone, I then emailed myself the shots. If someone can provide their email, I will forward the shots and perhaps they can post them here. I don't have time to do it, or rather try to figure out how to.
