As I have posted before I bought a totaled 2007 XB12s for the insurance buy back from a friend that had 600 miles on it and I’m putting its engine, suspension, brakes and other wearing items on my 2004 XB12s. I pulled the engine and swingarm as a unit but I’m thinking about keeping my 2004 swingarm based solely on looks. My question is; is there an improvement that makes a 2007 swingarm better than a 2004 swingarm? Such as less unsprung weight, stiffness, ect. Thanks in advance. |

new style swingarm is lighter and stronger this is what i read somewhere, i think the new one is made by Brembo. i still have a pair of the old style and honestly they looks to me better done than the new one....just an impression not sure don't quote me on this bye Alessio |
