As the title says - thought you guys would like to know. The arm has Adjustable Height. http://www.ebay.com/itm/162575115740?ul_noapp=true If that link does work then do an eBay search for: Buell Aluminum JMC Eccentric Swingarm |

They do polish up well and stickers can still be bought. |

Whoever buys it, make sure you drill a drain hole for all the water that will get inside through the brake alignment slot. They should have made that blind instead of thru. The ride height slotted block is a nice feature. |

That thing is gorgeous. Whoever buys it better post pictures once they get it on their bike. |

So is this a direct swap or it needs to be adapted? It's tempting |

I looked at the brake slot and this one is blind.
Here is an old picture of the bike with the swingarm, which bolts right in.

I should have asked this sooner: Assuming standard pulley tooth-counts on your S1, does the eccentric adjuster allow you to run the belt tension "scary-loose"? I ask because in the picture posted above, the belt looks kind'a snug to me. |

That's a good question. I don't have any experience with them myself, but you can at least tell that the axle is at the top of the adjustment in the picture, so could still move forward a bit. I know when I adjust the axle on my bike, it's only a couple turns of the adjusters to go from too tight, to very loose, so I'd be surprised if you couldn't get there with the adjustment. I know that's not the best answer, but there's less than 2 hours left on the auction so you're options for more knowledgeable people to come around is pretty limited at this point haha. |

If I turned the axle just a little more the belt would have tighten right up. When I took that picture I was run factory specs, I did change it to run looser. Remember, on these Buell better to run the belt a little loose rather than tight. Always good to have more adjustment than needed. |

Thanks for the info. The price bumped up there at the end. I didn't get to bid but I hope you got what you were looking for. |
