    Default Swing Arm Swap

    Does anyone know conclusively that a 2017 F3T swingarm will fit on a 2015 F3?
    I'd like to pull a trailer!

    It certainly should, but it may be more cost effective to trade up to a 16 or 17 F3T. You could also hire a fabricator to make a hitch to fit your current swing arm. It has been done before.

    I don't really care for the F3T. Strictly personal preference.
    Any idea what a swingarm costs?

    As with any structural mod, make sure the attachment points for the swing arm up to the task of pulling the trailer. The swingarm might fit, but you need to also sweat the other details.

    The rectangular one ( that works with the OEM hitch ) from PROCALIBER.COM ( REGISTER FOR FREE FOR DISCOUNT ) is part # 706001574 @ $ 310.49 ...... check these numbers before you buy with a dealer.............. If you don't already have the BRP hitch then get one for the regular F-3 swingarm it's less than $300.00 ........................jmho ........ Mike
