While the JMC and Metmachex arms are an improvement and I even considered DD's arm sometime ago its still not the look I would want. The RGV and VFR arms are possibilities I still haven't seen the exact one that I'm looking for. Might just have to make my own*...



*Or pay someone to make one for me.

see some one that thinks my way about f**king time :P

Why don't you have a glance round SVrider and perhaps have a search for single sided swingarm...

I had a Metmachex one on my JPS 350LC back in the mid 80s, it cost me about 450 quid then.

ZX6R arm can be made to fit fairly easily. 929 Blade arm, not quite as easily but not too hard. Both need welding though.

Yes but you need some components fabricated up and a SV swingarm to use as a donor.

Nah, not neccesarily, you could easily use different dogbones tailored to the Ninja linkage, and probably a touch of spacerage (which looks bodgey) I forget the exact details, or rather I don't remember what applied for the ninja and what for the Blade. The blade's the harder one, and also a bit short.
