S*R swingarms are awesome

[Jobu]

And it is very difficult to find an aftermarket SSS that is more than 3 feet long.

[psycledelic]

If the SSS will support double the weight, handle twice the stress, and last twice as long as the bike.
And the DSS will support triple the weight, handle three times the stress, and last three times as long as the bike.  Who cares.  Both are overkill.  It goes back to looks. 
+1 for the SSS.

My brother (in the sibling since) was over the other day on his stretched out, lime green, Gixxer the other day.  He was staring at my monster and said, "Not sure if you could stretch that swingarm out."  +2 (+3,+4,+5) for the SSS as a brother (in the 65 Impala since) defense. 

Just for the record, I ride with my brother now and again, but he powdercoats, so it's worth the trade.

If my brother saw this, I would never here the end of it.

They make 'em up to +6"

What's his email address?

Not to my knowledge. On the Monsters (and 851/888) the swingarm mounts to the engine case. (pivots behind big bolt for rearsets on S4R)  Beginning with the 916, superbikes have an extra bit of frame that drops down and reinforces this area.


     

With that said, what's the purpose of the SSSA pivot mounting to the rearsets on the S#R's?

other way around, the pivot is a nice strong spot to mount the rearsets

interesting they copied the SxR design, but otherwise:

All steel so pretty heavy to boot...

The side arm kit looks nice, but it should for $4000.  Depending on tube thickness it my not be too much heaver than the Ducati SSS unless it's a lot longer.  And if the arm is +4" wouldn't that kill the handling on the Japanese bikes?  Or are they for drag racing mostly?

The Ducati SxR swingarm is aluminum, the squidly one in the link is steel. 

One can assume the latter is significantly heavier

[vw151]

It seems to be a very "low flex" swing arm.  That is what my german buddies dad said that is the president of a company that makes precision grinders.

im confused, how did you get the rear wheel off without taking off the exhaust???
