| I think all uk 900s came with alloy s/arms. The US had a version called the Sport which had a steel swinger and non-adjustable forks, but I've only seen a couple in the uk.
The caliper was originally located above, fixed on that plate. About 96/97 they went under-slung and floating to compensate for swingarm movement.
Alloy swingers come up occaisionally, worth about £50-80, but watch out for cracks around the shock mount.
I could have changed the steel one on the race bike, but I really don't believe it would make the blindest bit of difference! |
