I was only joking about putting a78 swing arm on my d model last week in the great Suzuki debate,I think I have enough time to get it fitted before next weekends heaven opener.did it really make a world of difference back then other than aesthetics.

I'm sure that there was one on eBay last week for 30 bucks.

More than 25 percent of purchase price just for a bit of alloy
That's probably heavier that the original steel version.

At least twice the weight, just like the modern ones :o

*sigh* Everything that's right and everythig that's wrong with this forum in this thread.

The good thing about telling the truth is that you don't have to remember what you said.

Well that's interesting Geoff, I didn't know there was a genuine alloy arm available for D models but there you have it. Is it in the parts book as an option?
Have you got any pics of it fitted?
