wanted Swing arm DS1000 or DS800 style

[mbracing748]

I'm looking for a alloy swing arm the type that was used on the 1000DS / 800DS bikes. If anyone has one or knows someone selling one I'll be very interested.

DS what?
monster multi or ss?
The 800 was not ever a dual spark and has 2 different type swing arms.
the multi was a single sider except the 620 model
the monster and the sport have different swing arms to each other as the suspension is totally different in the way it is fitted.
the monster non-single-sided ones are 90% interchangeable if off the later bikes from approx 02.

I take it your after the type of swingarm I sold to Dallas several months ago when I needed money for a new van, since the I have seen one go on Ebay for over £400 (3 times the price I sold mine for)

I have a couple at home that I might consider selling for the right money :)

Hi all, I'm after the Alloy SS style, not monster or single sided. I'm building a Air cooled racing bike a modifed 916 frame. I fancy that swing arm, it looks nice also the 749 & 999 are to stiff, unless you get the 2006 onwards. The only single side I wanna use is the Monster SR swingarm.

That is very tempting. What mods, and do you have you any pictures?

I'm still interested in the swing arm, I'm looking into other options by only issue with this one is that I'm planning to fit it to a Air cooled motor that only produces around 85 BHP, I trying to find out if this will be to stiff for the bike...

I be interested to find out what you are planning to do.
I am doing a similar project with a 998 frame.
Planning to source a Multistrada 1000DS engine + ancilaries (TB, ECU, loom)
I would use a 996 swingarm which I understand will be a straight fit.
I wanted to use a 999 swingarm initially but I want to be able to swap wheels with my RS bike so single sinder I need and have found an adaptor for big hub wheels to small hub axle.

I was tempted to try and fit some S2R monster one as I like the look of them but I think that there might be an issue with the bearings. SS / Monsters have them in the case I believe whereas Superbikes have them in the swingarm.

Please let me know what you find out as any infomation is welcome to minimize the agravation of bits not fitting together...
