SLABBY SWINGARM LENGTHS

Do the math and descover that your homemade swing arm is not considerable stiffer than the stock one.

But it is & still does not weigh fuck all compared with more heavily braced arms.

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.

Back to length, I came across these extensions for a slabby swinging arm they just slot in and bolt on. Neat idea I thought.

Looks like I’ve got the shorter swinger 

what are the pros and cons?

on another note does anyone know what length torque arm I need? As I’m after one
