Great work. I've seen a lot of reinforcing of these swing-arms. your's looks the neatest.
I have one small query....
I have noticed a lot of standard swing-arms with gouges/wear marks where the drive chain slack rubs. it would be a shame if you had to grind some clearance for the chain!
I have seen a 3" x 1.5" x 1/4". teflon block inserted into this chain area, however, if must weaken this strong bracing.

that chain is spinning fast enough and is a 630...it will clearance itself if needed...people freak out when a chain rubs anything...it rubs stuff on all kinds of bikes and in different places on each mod added most times imho...by not webbing brace you avoid a structural cut and by over bracing like Leon did it...it will self adjust... :woohoo: no sweat...i will avoid any type of skid strip if I can...this aint no kx500
