Motosport swingarm

andybarsblade · Sep 2, 2012

Are all motorsport coloured bikes supplied with a unpainted silver swingarm as i've seen some with the black ones fitted? Or is this just a give away that they've had a respray/replacement body work?

I've never seen a MS with painted swingarm,but they may of requested it to be painted,I know on other models you could of had the unpainted,but it would cost an extra £500

Mmmmm seems like a 2010 bike on a late reg maybe , can't see the plastic on the swing arm.
why would you change the ali one , it looks sweet.

I suppose it's easy to change the plastics and worthwhile....might speed it up a little too :

The plastic bits are on the swingarm.

I asked the seller the question. This is the reply:

Hi.

The swing arm was painted at the request of the previous owner, existing owner purchased the bike from Cooper BMW in Sunderland. No plastics have been changed.

Thanks for asking.
