How to measure your swingarm

SWINGARM ORDER PAGE

On our Swingarm order page, you will need to provide three measurements. Your (3) measurements below should be able to add up like this example:

Front Measurement 35″ + Swingarm Measurement 41-45″
=
Wheelbase 76 – 80″ (35+41=76 and 35+45=80)

Front measurement of bike

Measure from the center of your front axle to the center of your swingarm pivot.

We build arms based on stock measurements, so if your bike is NOT currently stock, we must have an accurate front measurement of your current setup. To take a Front Measurement, measure from the center of your front axle to the center of your swingarm pivot. Measure away from the motorcycle to keep your tape measure straight for accuracy.

Swingarm Measurement

Your Swingarm measurement should be the length you want your new completed swingarm. And that measurement is from the swingarm pivot to where you want the center of your rear axle to sit.

Total Wheelbase with 4″ Adjustment

Wheelbase measurement should be the longest length needed, our 4” adjustment option is forward of the wheelbase length chosen.
