You have inspired me to keep my stock swing arm and brace it up instead of swapping for a newer one. I'm thinking about putting an under-brace on it. If you don't mind me asking, did you make a jig for the swingarm when doing the modifications? Got any pics?

Thanks man. No I didn't make a jig, free handed the bends, tacked the brace on the arm then checked it on the bike for chain clearance before final welding. All my pics are in this thread.


I think Leon (blackbanshee531) did a very nice under braced arm for another member and posted some good pics on this forum. I don't know if he jigged it. Rob (rstnick) has a nice under brace on his KZ650.
