Racelite swing arm?
Hi, I've been lurking around for a couple of months and I recently stumbled upon this http://www.tcconlinestore.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=RLT-3001 and wondered if anyone has one or seen one. Thanks

I bought a used Thompson 6-12 over extended stock arm last yr. I believe its a few yrs old. Im thinking its the same company and i just have an older design. no complaints with mine anyway

How much does the stock swingarm weigh? If the +2 inch arm is 40% lighter that's quite a bit. I wanna build the lightest/fastest/nimblest ZX-12R I can. I don't want an extended bike because I need a pratical machine I can use for track and work but 2 inchs won't hurt at all.

what kind of track bike? 2 in will hurt cornering on a twisty type of track. i think the zx7 swingarm was a little bit shorter and could be made to fit
stock arm is about 13 pounds

Racing track bike for tracks like Nurburg etc (I live in the UK) I know this bike wasn't really built for the track but with right parts this could be one mean fucker, fast-ish in the corners and stupid on the straights. Would that be a hard job fitting the ZX-7 swingarm? or should I do a custom order of the racelite swingarm? Cost is kinda important. Thanks for the speedy response.

Redelk had a zx7 arm on his.
I saw it in person at the bike shop one day, before I knew who he was.
It was cool.

Would it be cheaper to buy a new/used swingarm or try and find a donor ZX7R? If it's scrap then bingo. Would any of you say the ZX7 Sw.arm is lighter? and a suitable replacement?
