Title: Optional RM swingarm 77 ?
Post by: suzuki27 on June 16, 2016, 06:29:06 pm
US ebay at present is what looks like the optional aluminium swingarm for the 1977 RM's. The brake tab is in the correct place etc. He has $175 on it.

Look at were the tab is welded on the OPTIONAL ARM in place,  and there will be no visible weld.

And this is why I cant be farked visiting this site anymore ....  quoted   "I'm not going to tell what it is but there is an obvious difference"

The cable guide is the difference. C/C2 alloy just has wire loop screwed to s/arm. Optional B alloy has wire cable guide screwed to welded on tag on top of swingarm.

Aftermarket is fine if it was built/available pre Dec 31 1977
