Aftermarket swingarms that is[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

I have searched all the old threads and just want an update. Who's running what, are you pleased with the durability, and probably most importantly what to avoid!

I am looking for something a few inches longer than the 04 and hopefully lighter, that I can use the stock carrier with.

fit and finish is great with the Ace swing arm but the ace swingarms raise your bike up quite a bit due to the position of the lower shock mount, I had to modify both ace swingarms I bought to lower the ride height to stock levels- I'd like to try an ondunes style swingarm. You can come by anytime and check out the Ace arms if you'd like.

I had the same issue with my Ace +4. I am running a Dave Moore +6 now. The +4 was the ideal play swingarm because you could race, tree chute safely and still pull the front end up anytime. The +6 is ideal for racing and tree chutes but not as easy to wheelie by any stretch.

The Dave Moore swingarm felt about 25% lighter and it was 2" longer. I haven't had any strength issues with it...............yet. I have only put about 20 hrs on it though.

The Ace was $499 + shipping and came powdercoated.
Dave Moore was $350 in a works finish.

Good Luck![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Those look nice and the price is very nice.... I'm wondering about the ride height as well.
