Title: DSS trellis swing arm
Post by: Willthedub on March 27, 2015, 02:40:12 PM
The DSS swing arm was available years ago for monster does anyone remember these?

Does anyone know where I can get one? Or get one made?

Do you have one for sale?

Cheers guys [thumbsup]

i'm sure the price would make your arse run.

norm used to make some.  haven't heard of him for a long time now.  there's a few english swingarm makers, metmachex, jmc?

anyone who makes good custom stuff should be able to make one.

I've done a bit more research and I've tracked them down here http://www.emotouk.com/ducati/motocorse/swingarm.htm (http://www.emotouk.com/ducati/motocorse/swingarm.htm)

1600 English pounds though!!

I think I can get a custom one made for less, I will check those guys out

If anyone has one for sale though pm me!

Also this swing arm is to fit Monster S4, 800, 900, 400ie, 900ie 02/1000.

Will this even fit on a 695 2007 ?

Anyone know?

I'll start a new thread

I don't think these are the same, the original was a TubOlar swing arm, this one is totally tubular  ;D

Should have been a factory swing arm in my opinion

You could try one of these, but the turnaround time is a bit on the long side......

That's a lovely runner up where did you have that made?

SpikeC do you have anymore info on that arm?


Title: Re: DSS trellis swing arm

 It is from a number of Bimota ducati powered bikes. the DB5 series, the Tesi 3Ds, and several others. I suspect that they may be rather expensive, tho....

Oh, I didn't mean to give the impression that was *my* runner-up...I meant my choice as runner-up.

Found that browsing .ms awhile back. Tried to contact the guy but no luck. That's one big block of 6000 series billet...and some mighty fine machining...so I imagine the price was insane. Gotta be at least a grand worth of alloy before anyone even touched it.

I don't know how many here follow Strada Fab on bookface, but he did a Bimota swingarm on a Supersport recently. He did a exceptional job I think.
