The swinger is looking great!  :thumbs:

If you haven't mounted her up yet, it might be interesting to get the weight to compare to an OEM arm just for shits and giggles. I know most the people concerned about weight would be buying laddered swinger and such, but still I think- good info since you've got it.

Yeah i plan in wieghing it. I'll be sure to take pics.



I weighed mine and it gained about a pound with powder coat included. I really like the stocker/sleeper look!  :thumbs:

yeah the the sleeper look pwns!

You are going to get tons of compliments! What color powder?
It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.

I'm thinking black, but i cant decide if i want to powder it now. I was thinking if i wanted to keep the "Sleeper Look" i could get some of the "hammered look paint".

Check out mine. The gray metallic with clear. The powder coater did a great job.

I wonder what the ladder swingers wiegh? less than 11lbs?

I'll get mine weighed out tomorrow. I put in some extra bracing, but its a +3 so i imagine it's going to be about same as yours.

Yeah, i love how it looks with the external bracing still there. Kinda "fastback" like, or "sabretooth"...

Plus adds a Ton of Strength.

Here it is painted, we went to the local moto shop and got it weighed.

We used Rustoleum Hammered Black, it worked freakin awesome for blending the transition from the smooth to the rough cast. It looks like its all cast and we just painted it...amazing stuff, they should call it Rustoleum "Casting Look" paint.



Started reinstalling, found out i F**ked up an o-ring. I'll have to replace it befor i finish.
