Swinging arm question

Post by Kryten » Fri Jan 03, 2025 10:42 pm

One for the Kat Guru’s (Katanaracs?)

The SZ and SD have an alloy swinging arm, part number 61100-49851

The ET and EX have an alloy swinging arm, part number 61100-49820

Now there is a difference in the rake and trail that would give the slightly shorter wheelbase of the Kat.

But is there a difference in the swinging arm itself? Or is it so slight that you need to be like an ‘80’s GP rider to spot the difference in the handling?
