Braced swingarm on my bike.

Post by Eyore »

Collected the bike yesterday and rode it 220 miles over the weekend and absolutely delighted, but as there is no chainguard I decided to get a new hugger, however I have just realised its had a braced swingarm fitted. What is it off, an R 1 ?

Is it a good mod from a handling point of view, I mean apart from stiffness which is good, what else does it change.? Is it shorter than the std YZF1000R?

Simon fitted one to his Fzr. Mostly for looks but personally not rode a modded bike for comparison
