As I was making my daily rounds on eBay. I noticed I very different swingarm on his auction for a shock.  The seller is i guess the owner of  used to be BCM. Lots of high dollar unobtainium parts for sale. I didn't even want to ask a price since the floating carbon brake setups asking price was $3750.00 and a regular aluminum monster swingarm is $1195.00.

I asked.
What swingarm is on your monster? It's very interesting.

He replied.

It's a custom billet swingarm designed and built by a machine shop that makes Penske Shocks for formula one teams.  It was 100 pound block that was machined for about 170 hours.  It's crazy cool.  Not many people notice it

It's cut similar to the one on my KTM, but much nicer. Is he making anymore of them?

Here's one of his listings to contact him. If your serious ask a price for his. He's parting his monster out. Everything's for sale from my understanding.

Yeah, but did you read the seller's review of SureFire batteries?

Definitely worth the re-post!!   laughingdp

I thought it looked familiar!

He has some crazy parts for sale. But some crazy prices for everything to match, including used OEM components for probably near new price!

Good luck to him!

I saw the thing in raw aluminum years ago.

Looks like he had it anodized, or coated since. The same shop made some billet side covers too.

Out of my price range.

That use to be featured on BCM's website; I was waiting and waiting for them to start selling them, but it was only ever a picture.  It's a very nice piece, but I'd be a little worried using it; if it cracks and you go down, no one's going to take responsibility for it, and insurance might not payout.  I've replaced just about every part of my bike, but the lawyer in me prevents changing the swingarm or frame.
