Aluminum Swingarm??
I will be in line for an adjustable swingarm when you start pumping them out [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] I have seen MrHorsepower work, and I have to say I will wait in line to get one when he is done with the R&D.
But, I will be going for the longer version of around 8" and longer.
That just don't sound right [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img]

I may be looking for a +4 or +6 soon. Rode Angry's yesterday and love his +4.
Was going to get one from TVI, but if this is going to be lighter and stronger!![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

CanadianBaja..In the March 03' issue of dirtwheels they said the 04' DS's swingarms will be one-half inch shorter. They said it did help with wheelies but not all that much. I wonder if they are gonna design the heel gaurds differently. Wouldnt it be a bit snug running bigger tires on the rear?

garys swingarms go for about $700. why do you need a shorter swingarm to wheelie, change the gears and they will wheelie mine wheelis to easy with the stock longer swingarm. it even wheelies with those kendas that it came with. just get it going in second and give it a little clutch action, with the gears just get on the trigger.

#1 You will never get a Chrome Moly swingarm lighter than an Aluminum swingarm and have the same durability!!! Proven fact!! Gary's swing arm is 17 lbs. lighter than stock, stock weight I beleive is 23Lbs. And if you can't wheelie with a stock swing arm then you seriously need some engine upgrades or something!! If I didn't have that swingarm on this weekend I whould be writing this post from the Hospital right now!!![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
