Swingarm from what?

#1 PostAuthor: octanejunkie » Mon Dec 10, 2012 8:28 pm

Anyone got any idea where this swingarm comes from originally?
Fitted on my Z1000A2 when i bought it....
Nice and shiny, but no chain marks. Thats gonna make it fun on reassembly.

What's a Dresda swingarm? Is that like a custom/aftermarket thing?

Dresda boxsection , deffo.
THE original aftermarket handling accessory , a true "period fitment"
I spoke to the guy who took over the business and he's got a room full of the things, for all different bikes, all unlabelled .
Usually black I think ( but may be wrong)
you've got a genuine piece of 70s flavour there
