manden Posted February 16, 2020 Posted February 16, 2020 As topic says: is bracing the swingarm worth the trouble on an 1100 slabside with some extra ponies? Thanks in advance Quote
Dezza Posted February 16, 2020 Posted February 16, 2020 Of course it is: it looks really cool 1 Quote
Fazz711 Posted February 16, 2020 Posted February 16, 2020 Can you feel it flex? If you can it's worth it if not its still worth it coz it looks good. 2 Quote

Just an observation - how many long drag arms are braced and they put a damn sight more power into one side of the arm that should induce twist. Keeping a drag arm straight and a tyre square to the road is essential - but no bracing LOL! Quote
manden Posted February 16, 2020 Author Posted February 16, 2020 ive driven an zzr1400 quite a bit and it works fine. ite more the cornering with supercorsas i was thinking on. i think i can feel a little flex, but im not sure it can be other stuff 1 Quote
wraith Posted February 16, 2020 Posted February 16, 2020 It won't do any harm to brace it it's all positive 1 Quote
clivegto Posted February 16, 2020 Posted February 16, 2020 Depends on the arm, some thing like a 750 slabside arm then yes especially if it has power upgrades from standard. 1 Quote
dupersunc Posted February 17, 2020 Posted February 17, 2020 Meh. Extra weight. stiffen one area and you but more load into another area. Quote
ibrakeformoose Posted February 17, 2020 Posted February 17, 2020 Make sure you brace the top of the arm so it hits the subframe when you go down a bumpy road.. 1 Quote

manden Posted February 28, 2020 Author Posted February 28, 2020 I think I'll might hit 190hp if it all works well together. Now I'm at 160ish Quote

manden Posted February 28, 2020 Author Posted February 28, 2020 No. Haven't had the disiplin to have turbo bikes ;) Quote
Foz Posted February 28, 2020 Posted February 28, 2020 Is it worth it ? Probably not. Does it add weight ? Maybe a little . Does it look gorgeous ? Definetly :-) 2 Quote
manden Posted February 28, 2020 Author Posted February 28, 2020 Looks awesome with the wheels. Triumph? Quote
