I have a dumb question. How often would you need a new swing arm? If the wreck was bad enough to need a swing arm what are the chances you wouldn't need a frame or forks? Am I missing something here?

I have an extra in the attic. I cut the top tabs off since I don't run an inner fender and I'm slowly sanding it down to the aluminum. Man, what a chore.

The swingarm can be damaged in a low side, leaving the frame and forks damage free. DAMHIK. Granted, it was cosmetic.

So, the one I have basking in the shop attic, with the mounting block thing, is going to be worth more than it's weight in aluminum some day?

How long do we have to wait?
