curvy or pointy? if it's a curvy iirc the torque arm off a tl1000 fits but you need to change the bolts so try a few breakers. not sure if the ppointy one is the same though

I've just had mine powdercoated for a whopping £8 british sterling

. Never needs polishing (unlike a polished one) and shouldn't rust.

It's an option

It'll rust eventually- the bolts will chew up the powdercoat when you refit it and it'll rust under from there. Sorry! But it'll still be better than standard by a long way. And for £8 you can't complain. I had one in black for a while and it was lovely.

TL1000 or GSXR SRAD torque arm, fits a charm- you need to do a little drilling is all, or find a different bolt.

I got mine for about that (maybe a tenner?) from BBS in Edinburgh. I was getting fork lowers done at the same time though. It tends to be cheaper if you want a simple or common colour
