New Cal-Fab swingarms are being made!

Seems too good to be true but they have it listed for $100 on there website?? I am guessing that is a deposit?

Metmachex = METal MACHining EXperts

Whoa!!!

I think the calfab arms look way better than the Metmachex offering. Good price too if the 600 US is correct

Nope, $600 USD not GBP! That was the initial price, but I've heard they have gone up in price. I did contact them a day or two ago to inquire about the $100 price listed on their website (every swingarm and exhaust system they sell is listed at $100, so I think it is indeed a deposit). I'll let you know when I hear back from them!

Edit... Sorry I misunderstood... Cal-Fabs are [were?] $600. The Metmachex are £600... with £200 in shipping?!? That's like $1200 shipped!!!

That's like $1200 shipped!!! plus import duties...unless you have an auntie or uncle in the UK that is sending you a Christmas present :whistle:

I paid £275 secondhand a few years ago... I just needed it. They are light as a feather, when it arrived I couldn't believe the weight of the box.

They are about an inch shorter than stock, I needed to take a link or two out of the chain. Deep braced is cool but a hassle to fit for an endless chain.

I searched until the end of the internet looking for this material and then realized it must of been a custom batch order from a aluminum manufacturer. I hope the new company keeps high quality control and decent delivery schedules.

Thanks again!
Doug :woohoo:

This guy builds high end vintage race bikes. The quality is there. I bought one of his Yosh style pipes.

CRAP! prices have gone up. If memory serves me right, :dry: I only paid 5-600 including shipping. Granted that was 15 years ago :blush:
Obligatory picture, else it didn't happen, right?
