1981/2 XR500R swing arm question

[eric318]

Hello all,

I wonder if anybody knows whether or not there was an aftermarket aluminium swing arm ever made for the Honda XR500R 81/82, the first one that had the ProLink suspension.

I am resurrecting my teenage bike after 2 decades of inaction and now that I finally have a little cash, I am looking for possible upgrades.

Thanks for your help.

It's an old post but if anyone Knows of one it's still worth posting. Just picked up an '81 myself, I'm going to add 60mm to the swingarm and do a bit of sliding.Will stand the frontend up later.

For lack of anything else, I am now looking into adapting an alloy swingarm from a later XR or a CR.

Years ago, White Bros made one, but not sure how early of bikes they would fit. You might try here, but it may not fit or may be sold: http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-M...-accessories/Suspension/auction-159772501.htm
