ABSTRACT:
A swing arm configured to be attached to a frame of a motorcycle is described. The swing arm includes at least one attachment member, a pair of V-shaped swing arm members each having an open end, a pair of swing arm side plates each attached across the open end of a respective V-shaped swing arm member, and at least two cross members configured to attach the side plates to one another. The swing arm side plates include a swing arm pivot for pivotably attaching the swing arm to the motorcycle frame and a plurality of openings. The openings are configured to align with holes formed in the motorcycle frame to accept insertion of the at least one attachment member. The insertion of attachment members are configured to defeat the pivoting of the swing arm with respect to the motorcycle frame. A method for modifying a suspension system of a motorcycle is also described.
