On Dave there is a different torque arm on. Its a gsxr one i believe, but don't quote me. Anyway I want to put a new one on Suze as hers is well like the rest of her rusty.

So which one fits right??

this one maybe, it looks like the other one, but they all look the same to me

TLS ones fit and are alloy so don't rust.

Cheers Mark.

Or SRAD I think. You can often get em on Ebay with a caliper attached for under a tenner, which makes a nice bonus I think

or just clean up and paint/powder coat the one you have

I did that, but it just rusted again- the faces where the bolts bite tore up a little and let water in, then it rusted under the coating.

I had my torque arm powdercoated nearly 2 years ago.

Still looks good with no sign of rusting yet.

The heel plates haven't weathered as well. Too much friction from my boots I guess.

I also bought one of those polished etched torque arms off of Ebay. Wasn't to my taste. Unbelieveably.

The link to my original powdercoat post.

I just cleaned mine up and painted it with Silver Hamerite, seems just fine still.
