Any help? Okay. Please use the shift button to capitalize letters. Also, it's stretching. According to a dictionary:

streatching

- no dictionary results






Hopefully you will learn from this post and maybe get a chuckle out of it to.

Oh! This has been on my mind every time I see a post from you. Were you trying to go for the EatMe in reverse for your screen name? Or does your screen name actually mean something. I really am just curious.

AK Ronin Jun 3, 2011 11:24 AM

Are you gonna throw some DUBS on it and make it OG tripple OG too?

I'm just kidding.

I have no idea where to get the extended swingarm. But when you start working on it, show Pictures!

Good luck man!

I thought we decided you weren't allowed to stretch your hawk or we'd all beat you up. :o

;) ;) ;)

Given the lack of popularity of stretched hawks, I'm betting you may have to go with a local custom shop to fab something.

3amta3 Jun 3, 2011 11:29 AM

i will for sure post pictures but it is hard as hell to find things like that for this bike...

stretching sorry i didnt know this was gram class.

crux- eatmae was a typo that kinda stuck.

Your best bet is to find someone good at welding and have your stock swing arm modified.

I would suggest buying a spare from ebay and have that one modded as they usually are cheap.

If we knew what part of the country you are in we could provide suggestions of who to use. EG: in Phoenix I would recommend: http://www.ammo-racing.com while they specialize in 4 wheel stuff, I have used them and they are great guys that do good work.

Let me google that for you

Picking any of the top 10 links and getting a quote from them would be a step in the right direction... Or taking the swingarm to a good welder close to you...

The Superhawk isn't a run-of-the-mill bike, so you won't find many custom parts, and it never where that popular with the bling-bling crowd or the quarter mile junkies, so a stretched swingarm will most definetly need to be an one off item... There are no off the shelf, bolt-on options to find...

But you could keep asking the same question and getting the same answer... It's not at all reminiscent of a fly hitting a window... Really, it's not...

Haterz gonna hate:nana:


seriously dude the best thing you can do is sell your hawk to someone who is gonna enjoy it for what it is. Step 2 is buy any of the cbrgixxerR6s out there and put your poser gear on it.

3amta3 Jun 3, 2011 02:59 PM

i love the support in here, i love the bike the way it is but i am not a track rider i like to have my own swing on the look of the bike.
\i figured if i put a post in a different place i might get some others less anal and more open. guess i was wrong...... thanks for the boost though

7moore7 Jun 3, 2011 03:45 PM

I honestly don't think that most people are trying to hate... you've posted already, and this forum isn't a large one by any means (as is expected from a bike that is somewhat less than mainstream). You've gotten many polite answers of people saying they wouldn't recommend it, given you reasons why, and then showed interest in pictures of you perusing your vision. Some are less than polite, but that pretty much goes with being a human.

Bottom line is, what you're trying to do is seen by some as forcing a function on a bike that just isn't really set up well to handle it. It's like trying to make a civic an off-road vehicle. Or making a 6'4" Amazon into a successful gymnast. Sure, it can be done, but you're approaching the custom territory here, not bolt on. Because of this attitude (from a relatively small bike population, remember?), aftermarket support for the extended swingarm is poor at best. If you're set to have your own swing on the look of your bike, you gotta be ready for the hits and not expect people to sugar coat their opinions.

3amta3 Jun 3, 2011 05:57 PM

believe me i am not offended what so ever, keep it coming......

You won't be able to hide on a small forum like this... the same people read every post so the same people reply to re-posts.

Whats so hard about hiring a skilled person to modify one. Or how about this I am a skilled person if you send me the money you would normally spend on a nice stretched swingarm for bikes they make them for like this: HAYABUSA 99-07 BLACK EXTENDED SWINGARM TAX SALE L@@K | eBay


You send me $400 and I will send you a extended swing arm...

Hahaha! I love that eBay listing, especially the photos with sparkles added.

Hey 3amta3, maybe you could just get your Superhawk Bedazzled and call it a day.

With what I posted you are dubbing me a hater? Get a clue...

I gave him a pretty straight forward answer... That there are no place to buy the things he wanted pre-made... That he should look at getting it custom made either by a local shop, or someone that does custom swingarms as a business... What's hating about that?

I don't want to ride a stretched hawk myself, but if this guy wants to, let him... I just get slightly annoyed with him asking the same question and expecting different results three times... When the answer is pretty simple... So for that, he got a small poke in the ribs...

3amta3 Jun 4, 2011 05:32 AM

since i am new to this web site i had no idea that the forum was such a small place. i figured ask the question in a different area of the forum that maybe there would be a different group of people that might be able to help me out..
i was not trying to repost just to repost, i had a reason for doing it not knowing the small size of the forum.
like i said before i love my bike for what it is but i also like to make it my own too. just like my cars, i have a 2010 charger R/T.if i left it the way it was when i got it, it would just be another Charger on the road. so to make it my own i striped all the lables and trim and blacked out the tail lights and chrome tinted the windows. i promise you wont see another like it.... that the same way with my bikes, i like to do something a little different to make it unique.

MAN THAT WOULD REALLY WORK!!!!! i cant believe i never thought about that.. i know, i know what i could do. i could trim out the whole fairing with the ones that look like diamonds and then use the pretty colored ones to outline the head light and turn signals. OH,OH,OH i could also put frills around my seat make a flower pattern on my bitch seat...... OH MAN, i cant wait to get started. off to the craft store i go. thank you so much this would not have been possible without your suggestion.

Ok, so you didn't know... No harm, no foul...

Now you do know... So git yer ass in gear and modify that bike... ;)

Like I said, it's not my thing, but I'm curious about the end result just the same... ;) Swapping in a unmodified swingarm if it doesn't work out isn't that hard...

Like it's been said, the best option with less cost is probably to get a second swing, and go find a local guy to weld it... Cutting off the axle mounts and rewelding them with a spacer should be possible... Probably a good idea to brace it at the same time to keep it from flexing...

OK, out of some sound advice, and some nonsense, finally your question is answered! Your not going to find a better deal than that, a machinist/welder who knows SHawk swingers. Guess this forum is working out pretty good for ya!

Maybe he thought I was joking but the offer stands. I will even source a stock swing arm to modify.

superhen Jun 4, 2011 08:26 AM

Well, you may think you'll find a better deal, but then you'll have to do redo it, once, maybe twice. So yeah, $400 for getting what you want the first time = good deal. Plus you keep a forum member in beer $$$...

Little_Horse Jun 4, 2011 09:14 AM

I thought it was a fair price, there are some swing arms for busa's on ebay for $1500 :eek::eek:

All it needs is an extended swingarm and some asshat with flipflops and a nazi helmet riding it.

3amta3 Jun 4, 2011 12:36 PM

3amta3 Jun 4, 2011 01:00 PM

never been but maybe so. MAN I LOVE THIS FORUM

shake-n-bake Jun 19, 2011 04:54 PM

im in daytona. if you really want it done, take it off and bring it down and i should be able to get it done in a week or so if the price is right. it would be awesome if you got an extra one so there would only be one weld line and a cleaner finished look. i still dont like the extended swingarm idea, but what the hell... to each his own i guess...
