Does the Falco Swingarm suit the Falco better or is the Mille version the Swinger it should always have been given?

I love the Falco Swingarm - it's budget design suit the bike

The Mille Swingarm is a thing of beauty whose lines flow better with the Falco's frame

Oh ... not forgetting the New, Angular, Prone to Cracking, not enough clearance on a Falco RSVR Swinger (as Nooj requested)

I'm ambivolent about the look, RSV arm looks stylish the original looks functional. If it ain't crap, worn out or broken then I'll not be looking to "fix" it.

So that means I'm a apathetic non voter with plenty else to be doing than swaping one bit for another just for the sake of apearences.

But as they say "Vive le difference". (Excuse my French)

Yeah - I prefer the look of the mille swinger over the falco item but that alone wouldn't have been enough for me to swap. It was more to do with the fact I wanted to ditch the boat anchors for something more fruity - concluded that if I went 2into1 I'd only need to buy half the number of cans (no flies on me) and had seen F9s Falco with such a conversion which really sold it to me.

Now the 2into1 needs the Mille swinger - so the excuse was there and the long term stalking of ebay began - waiting for things to come along at "the right price"


And Howard - yeah I know I'd presented some of the options in a marginally more favourable light than others and presented the data in a way that maximises the impact of one thing more favourably than another ... but in an entirely factual manner.
TBH it really winds me up "in real life" when surveys are aimed to distort through the ways questions are phrased and even moreso when stats are presented in a way that is not comparable ..... but, hey, I had an argument to win - you can't blame me for putting my case in the best possible light :smt002

I find it fantastic that the views over this are so opposing and so passionate. Lets not forget that no matter how many exhausts or which swingarm... its still a cracking bike - and that we can all agree on :smt004
