What is your favorite Ducati or aftermarket swingarm?

DSS = Double Sided Swingarm
SSS = Single Sided Swingarm
Two conversations via the phone today with people asking "what is your favorite Ducati or aftermarket swingarm" -- and thus my posting to everyone as well. Amazingly there are (were) a lot of options over the years and most have made it onto a Ducati Monster inevitably via Ducati itself, the aftermarket or custom builders. (note: most won't always swap and require fabrication skills to make happen)
My two favorites are the 916 masterpiece -- it's robust and clean looking and I've swapped uncountable iterations of them over the years. But I will admit that everytime I see the MH900e tubular singlesided swingarm -- I think it's definitely cool.
Thus my question: "What is your favorite Ducati or aftermarket swingarm?"

I voted for the MH, but a close second is the asymmetrical Sport Classic DSS...

My favorite is the one Triple J listed above. If I remember correctly that swingarm was made by Moto Corse and it was available from Desmoworks.
2nd: MH900e tubular SSS
3rd: S*R done in black (like in

4th: Sport Classic with single sided shock
The swingarm on the Bimota DB7 looks hot too.

1st: MH900e
2nd: MotoCorse tubular DSS swingarm. The one pictured by TripleJ and Travman above.
3rd: None come close to those two. MV Agusta SSS would be up next. See Bradmiller's 999 with it installed

1. MH900e. Guess i'm bias
2. I have to say any of the 916 base sss are awesome. 1098's, Hyper & Multi. I especially like the 1098's "beefier" look. Love how the welds shows. Ducati did a good job not painting it.

MV Agusta F4 swingarm on Ducati 999:
It's an aftermarket swingarm based upon the style of the MV Agusta F4 swingarm. (An MV Agusta swingarm uses a frame pivot -vs- enginecase pivot and would be difficult at best to modify to work on a Ducati) They were available when the 999 was first introduced but for an insane price. A customer had one on his 999S. If I remember right, it was made by Febur and they were cast in magnesium.

That is most likely what he did. I'll ask more next time I see him, but I'd venture a guess that you're spot on. Its makes my mouth sweat either way.

It was the S*R tubular SSS that sucked me in to my first and (so far) only Ducati purchase. I couldn't take my eyes off of that swingarm and then the rest of the bike started coming into focus. Now I've got one more obsession I never saw coming.
