Looking for a swing arm in the US to fit a 91 paso.

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...
Ciao

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'm not sure 906 swing can fit on a 907

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
