Default Curvey swing arm

What's the difference between the faired and the naked??? And are they interchangeable?

Turns out naked is shorter. Or is it longer? They're totally interchangable though, and all other parts bar chain are the same.

So in theory if I fit a naked swing arm to my S it will lift the tail then?

Yup, by not very much. 1mm, at a guess, depending on your dogbones.

Hmm. I still reckon about 1mm. You can work it out, just measure the angle of your swingarm when the bike's weighted and use Maths. But since I failed higher maths twice, I'm going to use Guesses.

Not by much ... don't you try winding the chain adjusters back 10mm (obviously derail chain first )
