Very clean. I like the polished swing arm too.

Thanks, some hate it, some like it, I did it as a tribute for the 250 2 stroke GP bikes that are gone forever. Not quite the Factory look of the Aprilia & Honda's but the 696 sorta has that banana shape to it so I gave it go & kinda like it.[quote

I agree, I never liked the stock rear sets & right now I'm putting on some 848 forks and as usual it's costing way more then planned. So the rear set mod was basically free except a can of spray paint. If I decide to stay with em I'll powder coat them.

I think they look alright!  Any idea how much weight you chopped off?

i also cut mine after the aftermarket rearsets i purchased didn't look the way i wanted them to. however, you did a cleaner cut & a better job than i did.     in spite of the butchered appearance of mine, i'll leave well enough alone.

2.4lbs. your ? made me curious so i just weighed the cut off parts. But if you want to loose some real weight change your rotors, part of my fork swap includes some Galfer wave rotors & they are each over a pound lighter then the stockers and loosing that much weight on the wheel should make a noticeable difference in the way bike turns.

Great job on that, looks proper. That swingarm must have been a lot of work. Now to get lighter wheels and a decent rear shock.
