Harley JFK swing arm on CB400?
Damn autocorrect changed fhl to JFK
Hey I'm brand new to moto building. Picking up this cool 79 Honda CB400. Please let me know if this is not a not idea but I like the look of the 80s Harley FHL swing arms and was wondering if anyone was able to run Harley swing arms on old Honda framesLast edited by GhostLemone; 03-23-2019 at 9:14 PM.

why a Harley swingarm?
do you want a longer one? could just extend it:

or you could go for a full rigid frame:

I'm trying to lengthen and lower the frame. Was considering making one from scratch or modifying an existing one. I like the look of these tho
I'm planning on hardtailing this bike probably later in life, when I get anoher project or get bored of the look.Last edited by GhostLemone; 03-23-2019 at 10:47 PM.

Best video I have seen so far. I think I will try to practice on some scrap swing arms and potentially fully fab my own. Seems simple enough.
