ok so heres the pics, the hole through the swingarm has been opened up and the origional bottom mount has been added to the rs arm so i can retain the existing geometry linkages etc.

looking good ade, how close does the swingarm bracing come to the shock resevoir on full compression?

Ade forgive my ignorance but :? is the reason for fitting the RS swinging arm just cos its a braced item and will improve the ride.I ask cos as far as I can see you've kept the geometry the same as far as the shock mounts are concerned,but is there a difference in the swing arm pivot to the rear wheel spindle distance/angle.
It looks mint anyway

I did the same with mine to keep the rising rate and geometry the same as satndard so it rides the as before. Reason for the change is most likely same as mine LOOKS 1000 TIMES better than standard one :D :D

pablo no diference just as phil says pure looks, thought it was the thing to do with the bodywork being as is. the resevoir will foul on full compression however it is to be sorted when the subframe is modded the same place will do both for me.
