You just know that the owner of that has seen too many Honda Dominator cafe racers!Bustaspoke wrote: Sun Jan 16, 2022 8:06 pm Just been looking through Ebay for a old XT600 to canibalise as I plan on rebuilding my old XT again.
This came up WTF indeed!

I had an RRW/X which is what that once was. The top bracing on the swing arm is stock, who knows why they felt it needed more bracing on the bottom.

A rigid braced swing arm makes the handling 100% better.KungFooBob wrote: Mon Jan 31, 2022 9:22 pm I had an RRW/X which is what that once was. The top bracing on the swing arm is stock, who knows why they felt it needed more bracing on the bottom.
Twice as much bracing therefore makes the handling 200% better!
