Magnesium Swingarm

Hi all. Im thinking of getting a Mag swingarm for my 996R.
QUESTION..Would I see a benefit.

How much lighter is it than the standard one.

Thanks Ian

I do have the weights somewhere and know its a decent saving in weight
One of he main benifits is the change to the weight distribution of the bike putting a bit more bias on the front end

Thanks Skidlids. If you do have the weight spec to hand. I would be really interested to know.

Does that mean I would need to have my suspension setup changed If I go ahead and get the mag arm?

Your welcome
Good luck in your search for a swingarm, its always worth a call to Jim at Bike Enders in Romford to see if he has any 01708 455530

They are not such good value new at the moment as the Exchange rate hasn't done us any favours
