i think when i build a new swingarm i will replace all the rear end components with lightweight banshee or 250r parts should save quite a bit of weight.

I am in the process of designing and building an aluminum drag axle. I will test it and let you know how it goes, if it passes the test, I will be selling them. The stock axle is 10lbs, these will be 5lbs, that's a huge difference for rotating mass!

17lbs, but the big thing is the rotating mass of the rear axle!
