But it is & still does not weigh fuck all compared with more heavily braced arms. 1 Quote Link to comment
Sandman Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 (edited) If the bracing contributes to any stiffnes, it is no point to add the weigth of the bracing :-) The design of the Metmachex is better, but it is possible to improve the stiffness without adding a lot of weigth. Take a look at the design of the swing arm on a GSXR 750 RR/RK. The design is much better with respect to torsional/bending stiffness and weigth.

clivegto Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Back to length, I came across these extensions for a slabby swinging arm they just slot in and bolt on. Neat idea I thought. 2 Quote Link to comment
