[polarexpress]

It has come to my attention that Ducati makes more than one version of the magnesium swingarm.

I've heard they've gone from 25mm added length to 19mm (with an unknown number of variants in between).

I'm getting a sneaking suspicion I should find out why before bleeding my financials dry on the "wrong" mag swingarm.

Did they go from 25mm to a shorter version because the 25mm proved too long?

And how does the difference in length affect the handling of the bike considering you cannot adjust the rake any further (as far as I know) once you've placed it in the steep position?

Thanks to all of you for sharing your knowledge!
