Is this really a Moriwaki swingarm as this is the first time I've seen one like this for the Firestorm/Superhawk,

Moriwaki swingarm?
Re: Moriwaki swingarm?
It's based on std swinger but with the boxed in bracing, a sharks tooth device and bobbin mounts added.
Should work fine.
That's nothing you couldnt ask a welder/fabricator to copy easily enough.

It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

i think you would be hard to justify getting the use out of that unless you ragged the nuts all the time,However like most stuff its looks great. My mates picked up his new MT 10 tuesday. he should have stuck with the fazer 600 really. he rides like a poof lol however quite quick in a straight line
missing the noise, not the vibes. However never say never!

Re: Moriwaki swingarm?
The knob up the road from me has a Mt10. Pug ugly, crap finishing but the best sounding bike I've heard. I'd have one just for that.
Don't hassle me
I'll get there at some time

Do the brace mod, much cheaper and just as effective. I saw this on the Jauce Site and nearly choked at the price !
Next time I remove my braced swinger I will have it boxed like this and the cost will be a fraction of what the asking price for this item is.
Cheers

I like the look of that better that the cbr brace
Is there any reason it couldn't extend more to the axle

told you not to but oh no you knew better

Yes, it would foul the rear brake slave and the chain guard.macdee wrote:I like the look of that better that the cbr brace

But if you were to go underslung you could- and you might as well while you're there fabbing and welding.
If you just want a bolt-on direct replacement, no.

I wasn't intending to buy it, certainly not at that price
