The swing arm is a custom job done up by
JMC over in the UK, it's made to fit up to a 170. I wasn't very happy with their service though, it took them over four months to get it made (they quote you 6-9 weeks), they raised the price half way through saying that the online ordering had messed up, over one hundred dollars, and never got back to my emails.
You also have to deal through a nice lady named Maria in Puerto Rica, the US supplier. But every time you have a question, you have to ask her, then she has to ask them, and then you wait... and wait... and wait... and sometimes get a reply back. Overall it's a nice and light swingarm, but I was very unhappy with the service.
I ended up paying 700 something for it w/o the polishing (costs extra), and that was back when they were running a 200 dollar discount.
Sadly that was my Dad's VFR Canyon, and he just got rid of it for a 2001 (or something) Bandit 1200.
I haven't been tracking weight no, I figure it will end up being what it ends up being. I'm just trying to add the lightest bits I can so far. As it sits I can still pick it up and carry it around with one arm. Something I couldn't do when it was stock.
When I pull it apart again, I'll compare the weights, I still have the stock front end sitting around. It felt like one stock fork leg weighed as much as the whole front end together with the wheel, haha.
What would you like to know Shirt? The list is really, really long, haha. Basically it has an '04/5 GSX-R750 front end, R1 Calipers with vesrah pads and a 19x20 brembo mc. That's a '98 F3 rear wheel with a spacer kit, again from Zoran (he's the man by the way). The exhaust is basically a race setup, it's a Leo Vince carbon fiber race can with pipes put together from '03 and '04/5 SV kits (different sub-frames), as there is no full high mount system for an '03 SV650. Sharkskinz bodywork that I had to make fit with my exhaust, a lot of cutting, haha. Replaced the airbox with a Renegade filter setup. Blah, blah, blah, haha.
Thanks again guys,
