Aluminuim swinging arm
« on: December 12, 2024, 03:04:00 PM »
I have finally made a start on fitting an aluminuim swinging arm to the XBR, I finally went for a honda CR500 item, fitted it upside down so it would clear the oil tank, had some bracing underneath and bought some weld on shock mounts. it fits easily and will only require some spacers made up

Looks cool Joolz. Look forward to more pics once it’s all built back up and road ready 👍
Cheers, Michael

PS.... is it the same length as the original XBR swinging arm? If so, how very unlike Honda but great news for you 👍

Thanks Michael  The arm is about 2cm longer so not much difference
