Not entirely sure but the pipe looks to be the Mugen pipe.

I reckon the swingarms are by the same manufacturer, just from different batches, from memory the same swingarm fits the 78, 79 & 80 so they could be from different years.
They do look a bit different to a DG swingarm that I saw a few years back though.

Thanks Geoff  :) your name was suggested as the pipe builder by a previous owner  :o I put him straight though  >:( I said no way Geoffrey would turn out an amatuer effort like that  ;D

You probably right about same Sw arm manufacturer different batches  :) what manufacturer though  ???

Why are the shock mounts different side to side  ???

From memory the swingarm is lopsided for chain clearance.

if it is a Mugen pipe look out Bill - very poor welds on the top section under the tank.  How do you go about pistons for the 360?

Both swingarms are repo DG that were reproduced about ten years ago, Genuine gold DG arm has strengthening arch in front of wheel then a gap and rectangler brace before swingarm pivot, the arms pictured have a solid plate top & bottom.
The pipe is a hand made copy, Genuine Mugen pipe is pressed with a seam and looks like a standard 250 pipe but fatter.
Can send picture of Mugen pipe if you please.

I have a DG arm here, yours are quite different, so Not DG. No help other than that.
Cheers,
