Swingarm weights
As it seems to be flavour of the month, being a sad git I thought I'd weigh some swingarms:

Steel 620 Monster - 5.68kg
Alloy M1000/M620 - 4.38kg

Steel 600ss - 4.94kg
Alloy 750/900ss - 3.65kg
Alloy early 750ss Verlicchi/DP - 3.4kg

Steel M600 - ??? (don't have one)
Alloy 851/M600 - 4.46kg

No prizes for guessing which one I have on my bike and which ones I'll be selling!


Paul

15th year in DD #68 and getting slower by the year

1199, SS800 & 620SSie DD racer

I'm pretty sure my steel M600 monster arm (without loop) was around 7.1kg. I did put it online somewhere, but it may well have been the defunkt site... I'll do a search in a bit.

The one I have on my M620 needed a longer spondle as its wider, so weight probably ended up almost the same! But looks nicer
