does look good

now just treat the rust colour and get the rest of it black and it would be very good - and fast of course

Thanks Guys.
Yep new alloy bracket made and fitted.
Confession time... Red Aprilia still there, only edited out :smt053
I will remove eventually
ps. that's a reflection on the side panel and NOT a scuff mark.

I think the standard swingarm follows the parallel lines of the frame better then the Mille one.:smt064
But, I am tempted to paint it black. If only I could source a pre loved one to experiment with :smt017

Hi FK, Looking good, but if your thinking of fitting a black swingarm, you should get some black cans as well and sell me those silver cheap ones.

Shame you can't see the rear wheel and swinger properly. Has the bike suffered the dropsy? :smt002
