    New aluminum swing arm from Japan, and some BEET side covers!! I’ve waited about 3 years to jump on parts like these

    For some reason, Japanese sellers only recently started making these parts available in the us for a reasonable price, I was seeing these side covers listed for thousands the swing arm for about a grand of usd on other sketchy sites.. no way jose.
    I picked up both for under 500 shipped from Tokyo on eBay about 6 days ago!
    Cutting weight was not my goal, most of my bike is functional or cool aftermarket parts, or parts from other Yamahas, or European XJ400’s, 550’s, and all the 600’s. These are period appropriate Japanese parts and they make me happy.

    next up is some Italian rear sets, a “proper” seat, a motogadget mini, completely redo the wiring (when I originally did it I was in a hurry, so it’s routed weird and want to make it entirely new), and a detail polish.
    By then it’ll be spring, maybe.

    I’ve got quite a bit! I will go through it before the end of next summer, though. I work residential and everyone always wants 1 more year with their system, haha
