07 Swingarm swap on a 06

[CrazyBiker]

Snagged a used swingarm from ebay. Should be pretty straightforward but will be a PITA to remove all the stuff from the rear except for the subframe. Will post pictures next week..

Why the swap? Just for the looks?

The '07 has different ends and adjusters that make it much easier to adjust chain slack and keep the wheel square to the swingarm.

Plus the swingarm is more rigid and improves handling a notch. I thought it was lighter where the 07 shaved pounds but as Nate (DefyInertia) confirmed both weigh 10-12 pounds. Where did the 13 pounds go from 06-07 I keep wondering??
