FITMENT EXCEPTIONS
- All Models: Inner Races not included – Use OEM Inner Races from your stock swingarm.
- All Models: DO NOT use any Inner Races from other aftermarket swingarms with your new DME Racing swingarm.
- BMW S1000RR
2020+ models are designed with the DDC mounting bracket. Models 2019 and older do not have a DDC bracket designed into the swingarm. In order to utilize the DDC feature, customers will need to drill a hole into their swingarm and install their own bracket. - Ducati Streetfighter V4
Requires a Hayabusa Gen2 rear wheel. - Honda CBR 1000RR
- Due to mounting limitations, the stock CBR shock (or similar Piggyback/Remote shocks) are NOT compatible with aftermarket swingarms. The Penske 8975 is our recommended solution to provide both adjustability and compatibility. We can not guarantee fitment with any other aftermarket shocks.
- 2004–2007 models equipped with under-tail exhaust systems will be configured specifically for under-tail routing. Please indicate in your order notes if your bike is running an under-tail setup.
- Honda CBR 1000RR-R Fireblade: Must utilize stock (16T) Front Drive Sprocket.
- Kawasaki ZX-14
- Certain components from your stock arm are required for installation of the new arm that are not included. Click here to view items.
- On ZX-14 models, the stock fuel cell location interferes with the swingarm-mounted catch can. If using the stock fuel cell, or another fuel cell mounted in the OEM location, the catch can cannot be used due to clearance limitations.
- The ZX-14 has a low subframe that prevents a nitrous bottle from being mounted at the top of the swingarm. However, we have a solution – we weld a tab to the lower section of the swingarm and attach our nitrous bottle bracket, allowing you to mount a bottle easily.
- Kawasaki ZX-10
- Certain components from your stock arm are required for installation of the new arm that are not included. Click here to view items.
- 2006–2008 models equipped with under-tail exhaust systems will be configured specifically for under-tail routing. Please indicate in your order notes if your bike is running an under-tail setup.
- Kawasaki Ninja H2 / H2 SX / H2R (Single-Sided Swingarms)
The swingarm is designed to fit a ZX-14 Gen 1 rear wheel. To complete the installation, the rear brake components must also be converted to the ZX-14 setup. For motorcycles equipped with ABS, use a ZX-14 Gen 2 rear wheel. Longer lowering links are required for proper fitment. (Included with purchase – SKU: LL-H2) - KTM 1290 SuperDuke – Fitment Requires either a Hayabusa G2/G3 Rear wheel and Brake Setup or a GSX-R1000 (2005+)
- Suzuki GSXR1000 2017 +
Cannot have underbracing with these years.
Please read our Custom Order Policy before placing your order.
The Motorcycle Swingarm Extended
Your swingarm is the main component of your motorcycle. The swingarm helps manage the load distribution and center of gravity. Extending your swingarm makes your motorcycle forward heavy, giving it a low center of gravity. By pushing the center of gravity as forward as possible, you reduce the chance of your motorcycle wanting to wheelie on hard acceleration, allowing you to launch harder off the starting line.
Why Lengthen your Swingarm?
Lengthening a motorcycle swingarm can affect the bike’s handling and performance. Here are some reasons why someone might consider extending their motorcycle swingarm:
- Improved stability: A longer swingarm can increase the wheelbase of the motorcycle, providing more stability, especially at high speeds and during straight-line acceleration.
- Better traction: A longer swingarm can improve traction by putting more weight on the rear wheel, making it easier to transfer power to the ground during acceleration.
- Reduced wheelie tendency: Lengthening the swingarm can reduce the bike’s tendency to lift the front wheel during hard acceleration, making it more manageable for some riders.
- Customization: Lengthening the swingarm is sometimes done for aesthetic purposes to give the bike a unique look or fit a particular style or theme.
It’s crucial to note that modifying the swingarm can significantly alter the motorcycle’s handling characteristics. Some things to consider when lengthening your swingarm:
- Reduced agility: Longer wheelbases can make the motorcycle less agile and less responsive to quick maneuvers like cornering or lane changes.
- Altered steering geometry: Lengthening the swingarm may require adjusting the motorcycle’s steering geometry to maintain stability and handling. Incorrect adjustments can lead to unsafe handling.
- Suspension tuning: A longer swingarm can affect the bike’s suspension performance, requiring fine-tuning or upgrades to maintain proper balance and ride comfort.
Before considering any modification, including lengthening the swingarm, it’s essential to consult with experienced motorcycle mechanics who have expertise in motorcycle customization. They can guide you through the process, help you understand the potential consequences, and ensure that any modifications are done safely and effectively.
How to Measure Your Swingarm
SWINGARM LENGTH
When measuring wheelbase, measure to the longest length needed, our 4” and 5” adjustment options are forward of the wheelbase length chosen.
Example:
- 80” Swingarm with a standard 4” adjustment – your swingarm will be adjustable by 76”-80”
- 80” Swingarm with a standard 5.5” adjustment – your swingarm will be adjustable by 74.5”-80”
FRONT MEASUREMENTS
We build arms based on stock measurements, so if your bike is NOT currently stock, we need your front measurement as well. 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 Length Guideline
One of the most asked questions we get is, what length swingarm should I choose? We have put together our general recommendations on wheelbase lengths based on different use applications. If you have more questions, send us an e-mail to contact@dmeracing.com for help.
