[Ducati] Swingarm

[Ronald Betts]

Just for the thrill of it I'm going to contact Moto Forza and see what they have to say. I still want to buy one though. Thanks for all your replies, you guys and gals are the best.....! I'll let you know what happens. All you owners with this type of swingarm would be advised to give her a good inspection at any rate.
