[sn33ky23q]

hi i want to put a 12inch wheel on my dirtbike
i got one on the front which i put on yesterday but the other one wont fit on the back

i was told i need a longer swing arm
my swingarm now is 380mm long and between the front of the wheel to the thingy the shock sits on is 30mm

im wondering how long does the swing arm have to be for me to fit my 12inch wheel and will it look funny because it will be longer and also around how much is it to get a new swing arm and do uz recommend me to do it

here are a few pics of my bike if it helps you in any way

put the front 12 inch in the back where u think it will need to sit and measure from the axle to the inside of the swing arm where you have indicated there is a 10mm gap. You probably want aleast 10mm gap between the tyre and inside of swing arm. Once you know this measure u can check with a few different people for lengths.
