My rear wheel in that pic is a george deget wheel too. But it's a 17x 6 which is why it rubs. It's close even in a stock length arm.

Got a few braced and notched arms aviailable for immediate sale and one will be very soon.
First one is the 3" stretch that was in the first pics. Double 1.25" chrome moly tubing for the brace. Brand new black powdercoat, bearings and seals. $550 exchange plus shipping. This does not include the drive shaft.
Second one is stock length and has 1" box tubing brace. Will not clear Kerker, cobra's or stock exhast. Brand new powdercoat, bearings (and short one seal). $250 exchange plus shipping.
Third arm is nearly done and is made with 1x2" box tubing curved like the round tube you normally see. It will be 3" over arm as well. Will get pics soon. Should have the arm done by this weekend.

Liking what I see:eusa_dance:
We did offset the rear diff also so we can try and get a better center for the wider rear wheels. It's pretty darn close now and should have more "nuetral" handling. This arm should be very similar to what we are going to do for you also Jim.
The hardest part will be getting a mount for the drive side since the location for stock length would put it right in front of the nut for the diff. Do you want stock shock mounting or an inboard setup like we are doing here??

Either way works for me. My thought process is to maintain the stock geometry as far as shock angle, but where it mounts to make that happen is irrelevant. Besides the inboard mounting would look wicked. Am only looking at going to a 200 rear tire at some time anyways so the notching etc. will be whatever will make that possible.

Looks great Sean!
Jim, when you get it setup, your going to have to get some glamor shots of your bike and post em. :worthy:

Just took another look at the pics and now know that I definately would like the inboard shock mounts. Will give the bike a wicked look!! Do the inboard mounts and remote adjust nitrogen shocks will definately trick the bike out!!

DAMN that swingarm looks good!! Can't wait to install on SnowMax. Will look amazing, especially with the front end lowered 2.5" and the rear only lowered 0.5" though I may go with shorter shocks just to lower the rear a bit more. Anyone got a set of 11" 418's they want to trade for a set of 12"?????

Sean,
Can you notch a factory swingarm to clear a 210/50/17 ?

There are some tricks we can do to get wider but you have to shift the arm over to the right more then stock which gains clearance but moves the centerline even more over then it does with the wider wheels anyway. Not sure if we could get it but we can get almost a 1/4 more then normal that way.

Sean,
Did you get any final pricing worked out? What did you decide on for a driveshaft?

For now Furbur still supplies the 3" - 6" over shafts. We can get an OEM Yamaha shaft that is 2 5/8th longer then stock and much thicker too for probably less so we may build our next arms to that length. The price for the 3" (or 2.675") over arms runs $600 for notched, extended, braced, and coated. $100 more for 6" over with normal shocks. If you want a mono setup you will need to do some other mods to your frame (not all that hard but will need access to someone with a welder to weld a couple of sleeves into the frame.) Not sure on that price yet but looking at around $200-$300 more for one of those. 6" will also not clear your factory body set.
