What do you both consider a reasonable cost for an aluminum polished or chrome aftermarket nice swingarm?

Do you want stock length or mind a touch longer like 4-6cm over stock?

Give me a couple of days to drudge up the information as there are options much cheaper then $500.00

Kitaco makes those. Kitaco doesn't make a Monkey R or ZB swinger.

Daytona, Takegawa, and Kitaco don't make Monkey R or ZB swingarms.

G-craft does among others. Like I said, give me a couple of days and I'll lay all of the options on a silver platter for you and everyone else to see. Some companies don't publish pricing on their website so I have to wait for the information back.

there are a few jdm companies that make them for the zb/rt/monkey r.
g-craft and over racing being two of them.

if i'm not mistaken you can still possibly find skyteam stock swingarms as well.

Re: Looking for a Rear swingarm

I am running a faddybike(Thai?) aluminium swingarm with excentrical chainadjusters, it is not polished. They also have swingarms with "normal" adjusters.
(At the moment they are not visible on their site)

@superness: standard skyteam pbr swingarms are steel.

Re: Looking for a Rear swingarm

I have e mailed Asian Concept for a price on this swingarm and waiting to see what they say. I asked them how many they can ship for a set price. On their web site there is no price. Are you guys intrested in one if the price is right. I know it wont cost much to ship coast to coast. On e bay their shipping is 60 bucks for a swing arm for Z-50. If i can get 6 or so shipped fo that price it would be great. Here is a pic of it. I think its 2 over arm. Let me know.

Re: Looking for a Rear swingarm

PM Dicktony here...

I ordered one for him awhile back and while I wouldn't run that swingarm on one of my bikes, but don't take my word for it as you can get his (Dicktony) opinion on the quality. The Asian Concepts swinger is for the stock ZB50 wheels. If you are going to stick with the stock wheels, there's no reason to upgrade the stock swingarm unless yours is bend or you want a cheap aluminum swingarm.

Upgrade to a high-quality shock and your world will change.

What is the problem with their parts.....? They look great to me, nice welds anyway. I like shiny stuff, stock wheels or not. Can you tell more on what you know....
