actually they're made in Ingerlund.

what are these new swingers going for?

Do you guys really like aftermarket swingarms that much? what criteria makes you like 'em?

:kicknutsI'm sure the majority of work is done out of their race shop at this time but KR Tuned Headquarters is U.S. based, and to my knowledge only U.S. information is provided as a way of contacting them. :mrgreen :lol

Exactly... pure bling from our standpoint. Cool to have, no real purpose served other than to get the impression that it helps you go faster at a trackday :moped

but it might well slow you down on a track day. The feedback one rider likes isn't usually the same as his buddy.

I guess weight loss helps around the board, but it's not as important as feedback in my mind.

Not to mention that the design of these arms isn't real condusive to reproducability. One won't be the same as the next one off the line, feel wise.

That arm is made for two groups of people.

A) The racers that NEED something like that for performance reasons.

B) The weekend warriors that love to have the trickest hardware on their bikes, with no intention (or capability) of ever using it to its' full potential. (i.e....ME).
