I have one for a 906, needs to be cleaned up and anodized, has some battery acid stains but structurally excellent

How much do you want for it?
I don't mind cleaning it up butI don't know about how to go about getting it annodized.

A little off thread, since it's not about your swingarm, ... I was thinking of getting mine polished -- has anyone done that? Might send the footpegs out, too. Not original, I know, but I like the look of slowly fading polished aluminum ... (to each his own, there's no accounting for taste, etc.)

I guess it's difficult and expensive.
I also have some battery leaks on the footpeg and the swing arm...

actually anodizing itself is not that expensive or difficult if you have access to a good voltage source( right kind of battery charger will do)
but it would certainly be easier to have it polished and sealed with a good durable clear coat.
On the subject of the 906 swingarm I have, I would prefer to barter but we can work something out in our mutual interest if you like
Oh I am partial to beaded aluminum finishes and grained stainless
btw,bevel heaven has canisters you can add to your bike to prevent battery acid stains to begin with...........

I don't mind a barter but my selelection of paso spares is limited.
I've got an original tail light & rear turm signals, a cracked but repairable mirror from a garage tip over & a used set of clutch plates that I think wil work if re-surfaced. Of course I need to look into the compatabilty of the 906 swing arm.

forget that. It doesn`t make any sense to put a 750/906 swingarm in a 907ie. It would fit but it`s shorter as it`s not made for 17" wheels. Rear axle diameter is also different (20mm on 750/906, 17mm on 907ie)
Keep the mirror or have someone repair it if it`s an original clip-on one as it`s quite valuable.

Ok, thanks for the advice...
I'll keep looking, if I can't find one maybe I can find someone to repair the damage to mine caused by the loose sprocket carrier bolts.

Hi. I think LOTS of these swingarms have been damaged that way, and have been repaired, too. There are some other threads here on the forum about it as I recall. It happened to my '92 907 that I bought new in '92, and the dealer replaced the swingarm under warranty. And when I bought my used '92 last year, after removing the rear wheel, I discovered a very nice weld bead repair of similar damage. Welcome to the club! :?

all about anodizing.
If you decide to replace your 907 swingarm I am interested in your damaged one in case I decide to go 17 inch
