They do look ace, read up on the pro`s and con`s before you spend your moola, But after all she`s your lady so change her how you like it.

Yeah, I'd also like to see a picture of it on the bike before I'd look any further into it...
Honestly, I'm not a big fan of lattice. Do you have any more factory-looking options?

talked to my local shop about a single sided swingarm, he said it would actualy be heavier than the stock. to hold all the extra weight? what do you think. its an original idea and not too many people have it. none that i know of. i would definetly be interested in buying one. also what else would i have to change? sproket chain brake system???? my e-mail is asmulik@adelphia.net or my # is 561-262-8575 adam thanks for the info

will definetly affect handling

Its actually almost 4 lbs lighter than stock, has the superbike length, and is more rigid both torsionally and longitud.

Anyways.. it rocks...

We sell them for about $3500, but it depends on what all parts you need...

Obviously you need a hub, brake assm, wheel, rotor, etc...

DAMN!!! No military discounts I take it...lol. I can get some nice BST rims for that. But I must say that is a nice looking swing arm.

You can see one of our "works" finsihed swingarms on the cover bike for the current issue of Robb Report Motorcycling Magazine, on our Monster "Full Tilt Boogie"

That swingarm is more than 6lbs lighter than stock and over 100% more rigid in torsion.

Makin lots of them , in a lot of differnt lenghts, etc...

Anyways, not for everyone, but then again, niether are our bikes!
