I'm in the process of having a swingarm made with trick shallow brace so it looks part of the swingarm and eccentric adjusters and powder coated silver to match my engine colour about 4-5 weeks being done by Shaun @ metmachex.

The only issue I have of the 4 above is the water bottle. Rest is easyly doable.
But agree the single arm is cooler LOL
