Yes I agree, the more I look at the swingarm the more it bugs me. I don't know what bothers me more, the rough texture or the oxidized black look.
yeah, thats one of the reasons i haven't gotten rearsets. because it really shows off that ugly swing arm. i never really liked the stock ones, but once i powder coated those black, i actually liked the look of the stock ones.
that reason and the fact my son loves to ride on the back...
