What you want is a nice bottom braced swinging arm

The work was done by JMC (as a one off) and then coated by the same guys who did my frame.trixynut wrote:Very bling mate

Re: Top bracing is sooooo last year!
interesting swinger mod there. Surprised you didnt opt for the usual YZF path that most ppl do.. Saying that, you make me proud, i love the custom stuff, SOOO much better.

It's the "because I can" answer again! But there were a also a few reasons I didn't go down the YZF route:
1 - I have been fairly opinionated about 5 inches being enough at the rear (ooh err).
2 - I have a spare set of wheels (YZF front and TRX rear) with wets and a garage full of 160 SC Pros
3- I dont actually like the YZF swing arm
4 - (and this is the big one) I wanted something different. I could probably have gone for a top braced custom arm but everyone would still have thought it was a YZF arm.
This way I get to have a complete one off, retain my existing wheel set up and still use the hugger (to keep all the road crap off my epxensive shock)

Re: Top bracing is sooooo last year!
That looks sooo cool 
, have you got it bolted on yet? If so please stick a photo up I'd love to see the results.
I was considering fabricating something along the same sort of lines myself, I've noticed the brace loops quite far away from the swingarm to miss the brake arm on the r/h side, any other issues involved??
