Janssen does look like quality. Laeger is a great choice. Or Walsh.

I really like the Laeger products. Have never heard anything bad about Laeger. RPM is also great. I think that Swingarm has a lifetime warranty. Walsh is also awesome.

Walsh is around $625. I think I just paid $540 for an RPM.

ill see if i acn get u a pic of the Jannssen swingarm. It is made of the new aero-tube material. SUpposed to be stronger then conventional square tubng. I think they retail for 500 or 550. Joel will also stand behind all of his products with about a 1-2 week turnaraound time. Very nice swingarm!

you might wait a while before you get a Walsh Swingarm if you order it from them. GOODGUALITY but takes a while , thats what i heard from many people.

Walsh seems to be the highest quality product on the market today. After browsin ********, a lot of guys think Walsh has stepped into the #1 spot as the best handling chassis made today.

Leager or RPM are both great. I wanna see this Jannsen Racing Swing Arm? It sounds like it is good quality.

I would get a Leager if it was me.

Usually Baldwin has some Laeger swingarms in stock. Just give them a call. If you want Black that will have to be special ordered most likely.

i kinda would like one unpowdercoated so that i could match my frame! but if not unpowdercoated.......def. black.



quad041.......does dirt get in the open spot on your RPM swingarm? and do you know what colors they offer

I asked Jeremy at RPM about the open end when I ordered mine. He said dirt will get in there, but not to the bearings, of course. He also told me that that design is actually a lot stronger than the conventional style. He gave me a five minute briefing as to why it's stronger, none of which I remember. You also have access to the grease zerk found on most aftermarket carriers without removing the axle. Mine will be here Monday.
