Underbraced Blade swinging arm

I've got two Blade arms , pre 99. Gonna cut brace off one and weld it to the other. Would anyone be interested, what colour would you want it and what would you pay for it? Just look how much a Metmachex or JMC costs first.Cheers Alan.

Would I look horribly ignorant if I asked why?

No you would save me from looking ignorant if you asked why!

It's a streetfighter thing guys. basically for cosmetic, bling reasons. I've got a Metmachex brace on my RRW. The two arms on their own are worth nothing on eBay, so I thought someone may be more interested in a double braced arm!

"I see" said the blind man.

Must be something to do with living on the west coast.

Sounds a good project.

The jmc swingarm is loads of money, my mate has one.

id defo be interested, powder coated black would look good but not sure if it would fit my 94rrr fighter.............

Will keep you posted mate. I think it's off a RRS. Don't know what differences there are between older shape arms, 92 to 98, may be just brackets. May get it powder coated but not sure about the affect on the bearings. Do you need anything else as I've got loads of spares. Cheers Alan.

Mate im just about to have triple s powder coat my frame and swinger, youve got to take bearings out before they coat it.

ive never removed bearings before, perhaps down to the powdercoaters.......

Not many of them will do it. Ask a bike workshop or engineering company.

i can do it mate, was just saying that all the swingarms ive had coated , ive been able to keep the bearings in situ...

Local powder coaters reckon they coat at 200 degrees c. Will the bearings and seals survive, coz I'd prefer to leave em in. Whadya reckon?

Swingarm is welded now, will post piccies at weekend. had a pair of threaded tubes added for boobbins. Anybody interested?
