You know there are a lot more of the previous generation Monsters. It might be easier to find buyers for a trellis swingarm if you make it for them. At least that is what I'm hoping for.

Yep. I have been thinking about that.   Earlier monsters were the plan at first. The 696 would be the most simple because the direct shock. 

For the hoop style I will most likely shorten a stock hoop that will go with the swingarm.  The pushrod style should not be a problem.

I just need a donor swingarm of each style to build a jig for each one off of.

Do you think they would be liter than the original arms?

The plan would be to have them lighter and stiffer than the stockers. Plus you know, the looks.

Yeah right.  Like we care about how it "looks".

In other news I'm thinking about building a few, maybe 10, trellis swingarms for 696 bikes.   They will bolt up to a stock bike and use all stock parts - hardware.

I just need to see if there would be enough intrest.

umm, yes. duh!

696 is the way to go, trust me. lol

here, use this guy

he posted the link twice


That's a Cro-Mo swingarm, probably a boat anchor. And it's NCR expensive. For $2560 it had better be made out of Ti and much lighter than the stock piece otherwise pointless waste of money.  boo

Why not eBay for a used S2R swingarm? It's a trellis and damn good looking. ~$300. Easier wheel/sprocket removal and no chain alignment required. Beats the hell out of that stupid heavy overpriced Cro-Mo piece.

Otherwise Truckin should fab one from Ti.  Cheesy

Sorry for the bad link above, fixed.  I figured he should see it just so he knows what has been done previously.  Hopefully he can do it better (cheaper, lighter, better looking even?).

I always wanted to fit the swing arm off a Aprilia RS250 to my Monster, but lack of skill and money stopped me.
