Whilst browsing ebay, i came across this.. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Honda-Spondon-VTR ... 5d27b3a648

But what is a Spondon Swinging arm and why is it so expensive ??

*Edit-its taken this long to open the link right and realise there were more nice piccys though-Edit*

Basically, very, very nice race proven fabrications in general. Very well made with top quality finish.

Go to any custom bike meet and I'd be damned if you did'nt spot a bit of the above. Even a clip on

Thats all

[Jbrebel]

On top of that, I've no idea how much a swing arm like that would cost new? Anyone?

[Phil-VTwin]

Thanks for the info, the description said it was £1500 !!!

[Jbrebel]

Tis nice stuff Phil-I got a pair of clip on's for my storm and they were very nice. Good thing is-they're very down to earth to deal with. And they'll make next to anything

That swing arm looks a monster though Dunno if a standard storm would benifit tbh

"White Elephant" springs to mind-or BLING!

That Spondon swingarm has more than just the bling factor, and are becoming quite rare now. Ben explains the advantages of one below:-

Yeah, see what you mean Chris.

Again though, I can only see it being useful on a track/race bike really

It sounds like a nice piece of kit but well out of my price range!

Thanks for the info chaps
