Title: Swing Arm
Post by: Ar-Bandit on February 27, 2006, 12:06:42 PM

I was wondering how many of you guys have stretched your bikes.  I am looking for a new swing arm or to get mine worked on but I don't really have any direction to start the process with.  Are there any other bikes that there arms will fit the 02 bandit 600.  So any help would be a great help.

A B12 arm will bolt in and there are kits to extend them, also several of the swingarm builders have extended B12 arms that will work on a B6.

Since the B6 arm is steel, it should be easy for any competent welding shop to splice and extend your stock arm. This is probably the cheapest route.

ok so the B12 arm is longer then the B6 arm from the factory.  How much longer is the 12 then the 6.  I think I have found one on ebay...But it ends soon so any help will be greatful FAST.....matt

I don't know if it's any longer (I kinda doubt it), it's just there are folks out there that stretch the B12 arms.

Not that it should be difficult to stretch a steel B6 arm...

I did some research and found out that the B12 arm is like .2 or .3 inches shorter then the B6 arm is.  But I also found out that the older model GSXR 1100 arms bolt in.  So i have purchased a 6 to 8 adjustable stretch for the B6.  Thanks for the help man.
