The DSS swing arm was available years ago for monster does anyone remember these?
Does anyone know where I can get one? Or get one made?
Do you have one for sale?
Cheers guys [thumbsup]

MotoCorse. Probably no longer available (the catalog is 2008)
i'm sure the price would make your arse run.
norm used to make some. haven't heard of him for a long time now. there's a few english swingarm makers, metmachex, jmc?
anyone who makes good custom stuff should be able to make one.
I've done a bit more research and I've tracked them down here http://www.emotouk.com/ducati/motocorse/swingarm.htm (http://www.emotouk.com/ducati/motocorse/swingarm.htm)
1600 English pounds though!!
I think I can get a custom one made for less, I will check those guys out
If anyone has one for sale though pm me!
Also this swing arm is to fit Monster S4, 800, 900, 400ie, 900ie 02/1000.
Will this even fit on a 695 2007 ?
Anyone know?
I'll start a new thread
They were heavy if I remember correctly.
I don't think these are the same, the original was a TubOlar swing arm, this one is totally tubular ;D
;D
Should have been a factory swing arm in my opinion

You could try one of these, but the turnaround time is a bit on the long side......

That's a lovely runner up where did you have that made?
SpikeC do you have anymore info on that arm?
It is from a number of Bimota ducati powered bikes. the DB5 series, the Tesi 3Ds, and several others. I suspect that they may be rather expensive, tho....

Oh, I didn't mean to give the impression that was *my* runner-up...I meant my choice as runner-up.
Found that browsing .ms awhile back. Tried to contact the guy but no luck. That's one big block of 6000 series billet...and some mighty fine machining...so I imagine the price was insane. Gotta be at least a grand worth of alloy before anyone even touched it.
I don't know how many here follow Strada Fab on bookface, but he did a Bimota swingarm on a Supersport recently. He did a exceptional job I think.
Wanna buy a slightly used bridge, instead? ;D
Do you have any pics?
Randy definitely makes some nice looking parts.

That is a Bimota swing arm in that vid!
Wow that gut certainly makes some beautiful parts
