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

I do like the look of them and iv'e not seen one polished to the same standard but thanks for the advice. Prone to breaking! is that through your own experience? |

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  Apparently metmachex said it would fit with no mods to anything
