Swingarm Brace Kit

My design is a little tighter (brace closer to arm) than Rob's, he's got miles of clearance by the looks of it. Mine had to be narrower to fit inside the frame. I dig the spools he had added, those are very nice to have!

Did you have any issues with the chain touching under driving conditions where it passes through the bracing?
No touching anywhere.
I should have a close look to see how close it is though.

I braced mine (over not under). It's not that hard to bend up but make sure you get your chain clearance right. If you are having a fab shop do it without the bike there you may wanna have them just tack weld it and check clearance before they finish it up.

Please sell me that swingarm

I'm guessing this is a performance mod to keep the swingarm from flexing during hard cornering, am I close?

I hate to act like a new guy, but I am and I can't help it.
