After market Swing arms

Swann · March 29th, 2015, 09:19 PM

Does anyone have information about these 2 swing arms?

1. Are the longer or shorter than the stock swing arm?

2. Are the heavier or lighter?

3. Do they improve handling?

4. Design reliability?

Hello Jake,
the RD is sold in LOS also, from what I'd read some guys had problems with the chain hit the part above (sorry don't exactly how to say this in english, hope you understand what I mean).
By the way I'd try to buy the Kumis but didn't find anybody ship it to here

I have the one from CMS which is pnp, made from aluminum and from what I can say it makes the ride/bike feel much stiffer and the weight is down by around 1 kilogram.

I am fitting a 1992 zx600 swing arm on mine- weighs half of the stocker and pretty straight forward swap.

We need to find an affordable single sided swingarm for these bikes!

Garth,

Aren't single side swingarms, longer and heavier than the stock units?

Somchai,

Which country are you in? I found a shop has it, but I also don't know if they would ship to my country. I'd try one for $69.00 usd.

The "Over Racing" swing arm is amazing, but has an equally stratospheric price of $720 usd.

Yep they sure are but they are so cool looking lol

alex.s · April 3rd, 2015, 06:10 PM

i'd never use a single side swing arm.

Swann, that's exactly the company which doesn't answer emails and by the way Empiremotoshop up to now was not able to answer to a technical question from me.
Good luck for you

Yeah I agree with you, I wrote them twice and sent a message by FB. NADA, nothing.

I usually call empiremoto, if you don't, action on purchases can take over 2 weeks.
