What are the visual differences between pre and post recall swingarms for an S2?

Thanks

Yes. The easiest identifier for the pre-recall S2 swingarm is that the two arms (where the back wheel mounts) are cut, bent and welded (forming an angle) whereas the S1 style swingarm and later recall swingarm have these arms with a nice bent radius. The recall swingarm can be identified from the S1 OE swingarm by the fact that there is an additional piece of metal joining the two said arms that will look like ar arch when looking down from the top. The OE S1 swingarm just had the two arms welded to the swingarm pivot tube. This is the best I can describe it without having pictures of the differences at my disposal. Any possibility you have pics of what you are trying to identify? With picture(s) I can guarantee it's identity.

I follow what you are saying. One bike is in pieces, so I will try to get a pic of it tonight. I'm pretty sure both of mine are the updated style

Thanks

Ah ya beat me to posting those pics, thanks.

By the way, are you bidding on any of those items? I'm looking at one or two of them.

Mike,
No, just watching. One of my buddies is bidding on the upgraded one, so I won't bid against him, and the other one is pre-recall, so I wouldn't want to get that one. Bid away!

I was looking at one of the other items he has up, not the swingarms. Someone else on the site here is bidding on the sideplates. Got the other item in watch and will decide tomorrow if I hit it or not. If I miss it another one will come along someday, no problem since it'll just be for spares.
