Split swinging arm help n advice please

[Golfcarmad]

Ok stripped bike frame down to last nut n bolt,engine out. Swinging arm is split on left hand side.before I try to source original (feel free to offer 1 if available) will an alternative fit off different model? Thanks Paul

[Nurse Julie]

Is it a F1 or F2 frame?

[Golfcarmad]

Frame no. Cb400f 1087284.  V5 1.10.77 has comstars not spoked

[Nurse Julie]

Still confused by those numbers, should have CB400F2 ........at that date of reg. Dies it have the rear foot pegs on the swing arm or the frame?

[Golfcarmad]

No f1 or f2 however pegs on frame so must be f2??

[Nurse Julie]

Yes, would be F2 then. Is there any way you could get it welded?. I think only a CB400 swing arm fits these bikes, unless someone on here knows different.

Not sure M.O.T. man would accept a repair to a swingarm.

[Nurse Julie]

Good point Hairy, the voice of experience and common sense there 

[hairygit]

Might be worth seeing if DK have one, they break loads of imports, even if its an F1 part, you can grind the footrest brackets off before painting/coating.

Bad split a lot of rust would post photos but cannot get them to resize small enough Tks for such quick response looks like California searching?.

[Golfcarmad]

Will try DS as suggested

[hairygit]

No, D.K. Spares, DS is David Silver Spares, his stuff is new.
