The bottom looks like my former ex racebike's Yoshimura arm.

Re: Real Calfab swing arm?
Every Calfab swing arm I have ever seen is braced on the top. Doesn't mean I've seen them all though

That doesn't look like anything I've ever seen from Calfab, or Yoshimura.

Looks like a stock arm that has been braced?
Adjuster looks to be stock and I think I can see where the chain guard tab was removed?

If you want that arm send a message to the seller. I was the one buying it but realized it's a 750 swingarm, not 1100 so I had to back out.

From the pictures, it doesn't look like the bracing ties in the links that go to the suspension pivot mounts; seems a very amateur attempt at bracing from what I can see.

That doesn't appear to be a Marvic wheel... more like a Tecnomagnesium wheel.

It is hard to tell, but from what I can see the frame looks like someone did a pretty good welding job on the bracing.

Yeah... fingers went a different route than the actual spelling. Don't worry, I had a brief discussion with Mr.Index ... told him he better shape up!

Anything put away dirty, left dirty, and allowed to stay like that ... probably should be left like that. Shite.
