Thinking about buying a Metmachex swinging arm for my X1 today but the pictures they have sent me are of a S1, they say this can be fitted to the X1! Are they correct and if they are is it just a matter of an easy change over.

Yes, it will fit but why would you want to ?.......standard cast arc swinger is far superior and will polish up just as well :?

Prone to breaking! is that through your own experience?

Yes, Black Flagged at Snetterton due to a failed weld, the "brace" (it isn't) ended up scraping on the Tarmac. PoS

Don't buy the braced version as you won't fit the exhaust back on unless you chop it by about 3 inches,and that's the race can :o
Apparently metmachex said it would fit with no mods to anything :shut:
