derby? Replacement tubular swingarms for DSS monster

[crash_duc]

Emoto has these. Wont be buying one anytime soon, but I love they way it looks! The also have an eccentric style chain adjuster! And they cost an arm and a leg! But, they do look snazzy.

1600 Euros!!?!?  Youch.  Youch.  Youch.  I like 'em though.  I wonder what a full shot of the bike looks like.  I wonder how the lines of the frame and the swingarm work together.

MonsterMan1036 on this board has one of these.  It goes very well with the rest of the bike.  But yeah it is pricey.

Thats what they should of fitted to the new monster 1100

That is sick!    To bad they won't be doing that anymore to the new 1100.

I recently saw one of the swingarms -- I will admit they are nice.  Welds are professional.  Construction is very good.  Alignment -- it installed easily without problems and when on the alignment table, it was nearly perfect.  Price -- blame the Euro/Dollar conversion. All items ala adjusters, etc are included.  Only negative to the swingarm is the weight which is heavier than stock.  I looked at building a small run of swingarms and passed because it was cheaper to buy this than build a proper swingarm fabrication stand, design/build the swingarm, weld it, test it properly and then add the liability costs associated with it.  (before actually building one for a customer)

For those looking it's the first professional viable alternative to the factory swingarm that is properly designed and built in small volume. Although there are two UK vendors that will build aluminum one-off swingarms as well with years of experience in doing. Greg's Customs in LA will do custom swingarms that are professionally built as well but are $$$$$. 

One question that is asked of myself is the cost viability of the DSS swingarm ala the above.  Although it is pricey, it's still cheaper than going the SSS conversion route using Ducati factory parts via a professional due to the all the fabrication and custom exhaust systems involved to integrate everything correctly.  (For someone doing at home who can weld/fabricate/engineer -- the SSS conversion is a cheaper and unique alternative worth considering)

I really like the swingarm on its own and it looks good on the bike.  But the lines don't really work for me.  If I were going to spend that much $ on a swingarm (or any other serious mod to the bike), I'd want it to fit an overall vision of the bike a bit more.  It looks good on that Foggy b/c there is so much going on with that bike.  How would it look with a more stripped down monster? Or if it wasn't painted black.  Meh.  I'm just being nitpicky.  It's a nice piece.

That foggy is pretty pimped out.  I see all kindsa billet and yummy bits (BSTs?) on there.

IMO, the emoto swingarm looks waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better than the rectangular OEM swinger.

HOLY CRAP!!! For $3K it better look better,  blow me, and cook breakfast as well. Damn.

[sbrguy]

i think it would would great the same color as the frame or at least the trellis part of the swing arm should be the same color.

The Moto Corse swing arm is worth every penny.

It weighed a little over a 1lb. more with all parts included over the stock swing arm. Not all the bolts or the rear fender were included when the stock swing arm was weighed. So, I would say it is less than 1lb more. With the weight you get a much stiff rear end, which helps with driving out of the corners and over all ride ability.

As far as looks it looks even in person than in pics. It has a very dimensional look and a lot of cool details. I'm going to be doing a few color changes to a few parts to get a more cohesive look.

Construction wise it's top notch and a direct bolt on.

It does give me the "O" face while on a ride but no breakfast.
