I love that you call it a "swinging arm". Here in America, we simply call it a "swing arm".

The DAEG one is the go......with your bling bits.

Love the Over Racing unit; for me if I had the cash it would be an Onishi Heat Magic 👍

Good choice!.. Yes I love my OVER 10...,its staying on my 05 bike. The modified/braced DAEG one will be perfect for my 01...(one of only Two.,so it's pretty unique. 👍)

DAEG one is stunning ❤

Thanks for what you do, gives me inspiration,how do you get on with rear paddock stands on the 1200 original bobbins

@brianwells5258

Hi...,thank you for following along and those kind comments. Regarding the rear paddock stand/bobbins etc......,it is a bit of a pain since the bobbin position is below the brace.. That locates them VERY low for a conventional rear paddock stand and requires quite a bit of effort to lever the bike up onto the stand..!! I have just recently bought yet another rear stand which will be just specifically for this bike... I intend to cut the arms down to lower the "lifters" that hopefully will make hoisting the bike onto the paddock stand a much easier affair..!! Oh and also as you are probably aware the welded "bosses" underneath the brace that allow you to screw bobbins into are not welded symmetrical (left versus right) One is welded more "inboard" than the other and requires different length spacers to position the bobbins evenly so each will clear the outside face of the swing arm for the engagement hook of any paddock stand.. I think I cover all of this in part 3 of the swing arm install in this series on my Channel here....kzread.info/dash/bejne/f3WKsrWdYLPAo5M.htmlsi=4hX6sfAKLwMjg_6l BG.

Yep..,that's the one I'll be fitting... 👍 (Arash's~Kwick's modified and braced DAEG one...)

I think the 1200's swinging arm looks great... maybe down the line I'll get a after market arm.. a quick question I think you mentioned you have a Black Widow exhaust and was wondering if it covers access to the oil filter 🤔🤔🤔

@brianwells5258

6 ай бұрын

Yes I have a Black Widow for this 01 and a Kerker on my 05....,they all cover access to the oil filter plate....,however its only a 2~3 minute job to take the exhaust can and mid~link pipe off....(one bolt and two springs..) Not a problem at all...,and I do this every time rather than trying to undo the plate and have oil spilling out all around its circumference onto the exhaust...,which is always going to be a total mess. Better to put your bike on a rear paddock stand then spend a couple of minutes popping off the can and mid~link pipe....then you can have Full access and none of the mess.. BG

Black Widow give you that "flange" adapter that clamps around the link pipe then has 3 holes to allow you to bolt up to an exhaust can..

What finish did you give the swing arm? Powder coated? Apologies if I missed it in the video. I’m restoring/ modifying mine and like this finish 👍

Great video Brian, my 99 is braced and powder coated silver…..your bike will look even more awesome with the Daeg….Randy

Unless you’re riding it hard enough to flex the stock arm and wobble the bike, I would use the original.

That is TERRIBLE alloy welding on the DAEG swinging arm. Both the shock mount brackets and the brace pieces. Just DISGRACEFUL work.
