 miss the S*R swingarm.  All the newer SSS arms can't compare in the looks dept.  It looks so good in black.



I wish I had more money so this swingarm could be on my bike.  In this month's Cycle world there are about 3 custom Suzukis with Ducati S*R swingarms.  The bikes look silly, but their swingarms look awesome.

Looks good in black, but not so much in stock silver.....do you remember the thread "black gold" the anodized gold swing arm was the shit!

I agree, I think in years to come it will be one of the reasons collectors will want to own a Monster of that vintage.

My S2R 1000 is silver/black and I like the looks of the stock brushed aluminum finish SSS just fine...I think it "goes" with the rest of the bike.

I'd sotra like to see one with a higher polish on it than stock (and the welds cleaned up) but still left raw aluminum...Maybe polished up to an even matt (say 400 grit) finish and then clear anodized to keep it lookin' that way. I don't think it would look good high gloss unless the rest of the aluminum bits on the bike followed suit.

I like mine, but the MH900E SSSA is even better...

KILL THE HERETIC!

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the airâ€"these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

Me too, I like mine for the same reason. Great minds think alike! [thumbsup]
